Internships and Job opportunities

Grad assistantship opportunity (MSU):  We are interested in hiring four graduate student assistants to collect wastewater samples to monitor the prevalence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. This work is planned to be completed by two teams of two individuals. Work will be conducted primarily outdoors, potentially during inclement weather. Specific work tasks include: Prepare composite samplers for wastewater sample collection (lift sampler from sewer, set programming, pack sampler with ice, and reinstall); collect samples from composite samplers (lift samplers from sewer, retrieve sample container, replace with clean sample container, and reinstall sampler); deliver wastewater samples to laboratory; inspect composite samplers to ensure proper operation and conduct routine maintenance (e.g. replace sample tubing); follow standard operating procedures to ensure work complies with safety and laboratory guidance.

This work will take place according to a pre-existing schedule which will include working on Sundays. The position is anticipated to take 5-9 hours per week. Please contact Ryan Julien (julienry@msu.edu) with questions.

 Job opportunity: The State of Michigan has several (quite a few, actually) job openings for environmental and civil engineers. Several have closing dates in the next few days. Check out: https://www.governmentjobs.com/careers/michigan?keywords=environmental%20 and https://www.governmentjobs.com/careers/michigan?keywords=civil%20engineer

Internship opportunity

Black and Veatch is starting the recruitment process for intern candidates for Black & Veatch’s Water Technology Group. The internship would be focused on drinking water treatment, but there’s always an opportunity to get them involved in both water and wastewater projects. Ideally, we’d like to find someone enrolled in the MS program or PhD program. We would greatly appreciate your recommendations for any students that are eager to learn and would be a good fit for consulting.

Here is a link to the open requisite. It notes Kansas City as the location, but with COVID-19 they are working remotely so an intern could be located outside of Kansas City. Email me if you would like additional information

Happy Saturday! I hope all of you are staying well.  We now have less than one month left of classes! On Monday we will take a break from regular lecture and do a group activity.  As such, Monday's lecture will not be recorded. On Wednesday we will start a unit on ion exchange. Following that we'll look briefly at absorption and then membrane processes. We'll finish with residual management. Now here is a photo from the absolute coolest plant I've ever toured. The Henriksdal Wastewater Treatment Plant is in Stockholm, Sweden and it is build within a mountain. Yes, totally carved out into a mountain. The workers use bicycles to get around the tunnels (which are about 9 km long). Just a few reminders for the next two weeks: Sunday 11/15: Participation Question is due at 11:59 pm Monday 11/16: Office hours 4-5 pm (I added a link to the Zoom meeting in the main folder on LON-CAPA). Tuesday 11/17 10:30-11:30 am : Danielle Yoon, Fishbeck Engineers: Financing Water and Was...

Happy Sunday, Well we don't have a blue sky today, but at least it isn't raining (now)! As we move into several units (sedimentation and granular media filtration) that are based on fluid mechanics, I thought I'd give you this bit of information I gleaned this morning from colleagues on Twitter and how prairie dog burrows are better ventilated than most classrooms . Wind-induced ventilation of the burrow of the prairie-dog, Cynomys ludovicianus From: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/BF00694136 We will continue the unit on sedimentation this week. I posted a handout in the Lecture (powerpoint) folder on LON-CAPA. We'll work through this problem either Monday or Wednesday. On Tuesday, Paul Larios, MSU CEE alum will speak to us during the tutorial.  We'll start his lecture at 10:30 am.  He will speak about Water Resources Engineering in the Hudson Valley, NY. and will discuss four recent WTP/WWTP jobs he has worked on. Two involve the use of NYC water supply...
