Undergraduate Research Internships
The Alliance for Collaborative Research in Alternative Fuel Technology-ALL-CRAFT invites you to apply for a research internship for Summer 2008, June 2 - August 1 (9 weeks), and/or for the academic year 2008/09, in one of the labs associated with ALL-CRAFT. ALL-CRAFT is developing storage technologies for natural gas and hydrogen, based on a porous carbon made from Missouri waste corncob and synthetic materials, for fuel tanks in clean automobiles, collection of natural gas from landfills, and large-scale shipping of natural gas from Alaska. Summer internships are offered at MU in the Departments of Physics (adsorption experiments, materials characterization, computer modeling), Chemistry/International Institute of Nano and Molecular Medicine (surface functionalization), Chemical Engineering (fabrication of storage materials), and Civil & Environmental Engineering (natural gas from landfills); at Renewable Alternatives LLC, Columbia (bioenergy); and at the Midwest Research Institute, Kansas City (design and testing of prototype tank for cars). Academic-year internships are offered in the listed departments at MU.
