Job description: Location :

Open University Supervisory team: Claire Batty; Geraint Morgan; Vic Pearson.

Project Highlights:

• Opportunity to develop expertise in cutting edge volatile organic compound detection and analysis for contamination detection.
• Opportunity to develop skills in analytical techniques, contamination control, and materials and process (M&P) protocols within the space sector.
• This industrial CASE studentship is a collaboration between The Open University (OU) and Airbus Defence and Space Ltd (Airbus DS) providing both academic and industrial research experience.

Overview:

The STFC Industrial CASE (Cooperative Awards in Science and Technology) studentship provides a 3.5-year stipend that allows the student to spend periods of time on placement at Airbus DS in Stevenage, UK. The cumulative placement period will be no less than 9 months but this will be spread over the period of the studentship and will not normally exceed 18 months.

Protecting the space environment is a critical 21st century challenge to ensure the space sector remains environmentally sustainable and socially responsible. For those that manufacture space and satellite equipment, contamination resulting from surfaces, people and materials is a particular problem that is poorly understood but could have serious adverse impacts on extra-terrestrial environments.

Many materials used in the manufacture of spacecraft, particularly those used for bonding, are silicone-based. This is because they are easy to use, work well in a large range of temperatures, have good adhesion and are UV and ozone resistant. Certain silicones emit low levels of volatile gases. However, in the space environment, there are both thermal and vacuum effects that increase outgassing of certain compounds that can settle on sensitive equipment causing parts, such as lenses, to become contaminated and image quality to be reduced. If they are deposited on equipment that lands on a celestial body, this could contaminate other natural environments, including those that might be habitable.

This studentship builds on a successful Open University/Airbus DS STFC Impact Accelerator Account project (scheme can be found online) and will apply a novel approach to volatile analysis within space sector cleanrooms.

The aims of this studentship are: * To identify, profile and catalogue volatile, semi-volatile and surface organic compounds in cleanrooms and understand the influence of VOCs on bonding, and cleaning methodologies.

• To develop techniques, in partnership with the Airbus technical team, to help identify individual contamination compounds, and assess risk of silicone contamination vs cure.
• To develop analytical strategies to then deal with real time contamination events.
• To develop and optimise analytical methods for flight hardware, cleanroom surfaces and air.

Training and skills:

The Open University (OU) is based in Milton Keynes where the student will receive training in chromatography and mass spectrometry techniques to facilitate the identification of organic compounds. These techniques will include Thermal Desorption Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (TD-GC-MS), additional headspace analysis techniques, and Selective Ion Flow Tube Mass Spectrometry (SIFT-MS).

The student will receive training in M&P protocols in line with contamination control at Airbus’ Stevenage site, which focuses on spacecraft manufacturing and played a key role in the assembly of the ExoMars rover. They will have the opportunity to shadow the M&P staff and cleanliness control engineers when on site. They will learn how cleanrooms function, ISO standards and why specialist clothing is required for the different ISO standards. They will be able to observe the current laboratory techniques in use (FTIR) and be able to compare these to their own methods/results.

The student will benefit from bespoke training organised by the School of Earth, Environment and Ecosystem Sciences (EEES) and by AstrobiologyOU, including mandated training, such as health and safety and laboratory skills. They will benefit from being a member of a cross-school research group, with relevant in-house training. AstrobiologyOU offers dedicated training events and seminars, including CV-writing support, managing budgets and fellowship writing training. AstrobiologyOU is committed to identifying teaching opportunities for any student that desires them and offering public engagement opportunities to support communication skills development.

Possible timeline:

Year 1: Perform a literature review and create initial databases of cleanroom compounds. Initial placements (likely 2 weeks in duration) at Airbus for materials and processes training, and sample collection. Training on analytical equipment.

Year 2: Optimise techniques and react to real time events that occur. Further placements (between 2-4 weeks each) to continue sample collection and react to contamination events. Presentation at national/international conference.

Year 3-3.5: Consolidation of all techniques and develop final protocols. Further placement, conference presentations. Thesis writing and submission.

Further reading:

Further details:

Students should have a strong background in analytical chemistry and/or materials chemistry, and an interest in planetary or space science. The PhD student will be a member of the School of Earth, Environment and Ecosystems Sciences and the cross-faculty , and will join a vibrant postgraduate community at the Open University.

Please contact Dr Claire Batty ( ) for further information.

Applications should include:

• a cover letter outlining why the project is of interest to you and how your skills match those required.

Duties Description The Office of the New York State Attorney General’s (OAG) Medicaid Fraud Control Unit (MFCU) seeks an attorney with experience prosecuting and/or investigating complex financial wrongdoing to serve as a Special Assistant Attorney General in its Syracuse office. MFCU attorneys lead collaborative, team-based investigations with the Unit’s forensic accountants/auditors, detectives and analysts to identify and prosecute financial fraud in the healthcare industry and abuse and neglect of residents in healthcare facilities, present evidence to grand juries and conduct evidentiary hearings and trials in New York State courts.

The Medicaid program provides health coverage to millions of New Yorkers, including low-income persons, children, elderly adults and people with developmental disabilities. MFCU is the nation’s premier law enforcement agency charged with ensuring the financial integrity of New York State’s $100 billion Medicaid program by investigating healthcare providers, such as pharmaceutical companies, doctors, hospitals, and nursing homes, who engage in Medicaid billing schemes that cause harm to Medicaid recipients and the loss of millions of dollars to the State of New York. MFCU also works to protect elderly and disabled New Yorkers by investigating reports of abuse and neglect in nursing homes and other residential health care facilities in the state.

Possessing both civil and criminal enforcement powers, MFCU uses various state laws to bring civil actions and criminal proceedings, including asset forfeiture actions. Many of the Unit’s investigations are conducted in coordination with other federal, state, or local government and prosecutorial agencies, and have resulted in large-scale criminal convictions and the recovery of millions of dollars of taxpayer money.

Several recent matters that highlight MFCU’s important work include the OAG’s report concerning neglect of nursing home residents across New York State during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the recent filing of four major lawsuits against nursing homes, including Centers Health Care, Cold Spring Hills Center for Nursing and Rehabilitation, The Villages of Orleans Health and Rehabilitation Center and Fulton Commons Care Center, Inc.

The post Stores Officer Job at Orfema Pharmaceutical Industry Limited appeared first on World News: Entertainment, lifestyle, Health, Technology.

Job description: Start Date: July 1, 2024

Location: University of Alberta, North Campus, Edmonton

The Position

The Department of Human Ecology, Faculty of Agricultural, Life & Environmental Sciences, invites applications for a tenure-track position at the rank of Assistant Professor in Sustainable Innovation in the Global Fashion Industry. The University of Alberta is one of the premier research-intensive universities in Canada.

Research and teaching by an Assistant Professor in Sustainable Innovation in Fashion would address a major dilemma in contemporary society: how can sustainability be compatible with the seemingly insatiable demand of apparel consumers? Ideal candidates will have a strong, systems-based approach to sustainable fashion that examines the relationships between textiles, environment, social systems, sustainable and entrepreneurial design/marketing strategies, and persons, from local to global contexts.

The successful candidate will have a 40 percent teaching appointment, which normally requires teaching three courses each year. These may be at the undergraduate and/or graduate level. However, the teaching load will be reduced in the initial year of the appointment to allow the successful candidate to focus on the development of their research program.

Qualifications

Candidates must hold a PhD in Human Ecology or a field related to the study of Sustainable Innovation in the Global Fashion Industry. Candidates must have already completed their PhD, or expect to receive their PhD by July 1, 2024. Salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience.

The ideal candidate will have interdisciplinary knowledge and expertise in the global fashion industry. This may include research interests related to topics such as slow fashion, textile re-use, bio-design, life-cycle thinking, design/manufacturing innovation, the circular economy, environmental sciences, social and cultural impact of textiles/apparel in contexts of sustainability, and issues and policy related to international trade agreements. Expertise in emerging sustainability-driven advances that contribute to the production, distribution, mediation, and/or consumption and disposal of textiles and apparel is sought. A research program with strong links to the sustainable development goals, environmentally sustainable fashion systems, awareness of socio-cultural frameworks of sustainability implementation and management, and climate change mitigation in the textile industry is optimal.

Candidates must demonstrate the potential to achieve excellence in research and teaching at both undergraduate and graduate levels. The successful candidate will develop an outstanding externally funded research program, teach compelling undergraduate and graduate classes, and provide service to the Department, the Faculty, the University, their profession, and to communities who partner in research. We also seek candidates who will support and advance university commitments to equity, diversity and inclusivity (EDI).

The Department has a history of producing high quality research on topics pertaining to textile production and consumption, sustainable textiles, protective clothing, material culture studies, inclusive design, and participatory design processes. These and related topics are addressed through interdisciplinary perspectives and analytic methods including lab-based and materials sciences, history, the social sciences, and creative practices. We also have a strong practicum program that places students in professional contexts as part of their educational experience. The successful candidate will contribute to this tradition of scholarship and professional engagement, and build new areas of expertise both individually and as part of collaborative teams composed of people within and outside academia.
