[SEMCO] Fellowship Opportunity

[Sheri DeRosa]

ANNOUNCEMENT

How would you like the opportunity to work at a business laboratory
facilities where you can experience industry science first-hand?  Where,
in turn, your university may share patented materials or computer code
in addition to intellectual property?  Then apply to be a Sea Grant
Industry Fellow!

The Sea Grant Industry Fellowship provides support for graduate students
who are pursuing research and development projects in topics of interest
to a particular industry/company.  In a true partnership, the student,
the faculty advisor, the Sea Grant college or institute, and the
industry representative work together on a project from beginning to
end.

This unique collaboration provides students with hands-on training and
experience working with industrial issues.  By uniting scientists,
engineers and other academicians with their industrial counterparts, the
Industry Fellowship promotes long-term partnerships and facilitates
information exchange, allowing Sea Grant to engage industry in Sea Grant
issues, and industry to influence Sea Grant research priorities.

Sea Grants Industry Fellowship program is a vehicle for training bright
young scientists and for transferring vital technologies from university
to businesses.  Everyone winsthe student, the university, businesses
and the public interest.  Applications are due by 5 P.M. (local time)
December 1, 2003 to your local Sea Grant program.  More information can
