The Mechanical Engineering Department at the University of
Hartford announces openings for Graduate Research Assistantships (GRAs). The 9-month
research positions are funded through an extramural research project by the US
Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and require 50% or 20 hours per week
including possible teaching and grading responsibilities. Research Assistants
are required to become Graduate Students in Mechanical Engineering leading to
Master of Engineering and will also receive full graduate tuition reimbursement
in addition to a monthly salary of $1,500.
The purpose of the NRC grant is to further develop
state-of-the-art research relevant to energy production from nuclear resources
with specific focus on the use of air-cooled condensers in nuclear power
plants, the investigation of coupled convection heat and mass transfer
phenomena, and overall system efficiency improvements. The emphasis will be on applied, system level
projects in conjunction with our corporate partners Westinghouse and Electric
Boat. Summer internships (paid by
corporate partners) are also available with this program.
Requirements for these positions include:
•
Excellent academic record with a BS in Mechanical Engineering (or equivalent).
•
Outstanding verbal and written communication skills.
•
Strong interpersonal skills.
• The
ability to deal professionally with a wide range of people.
•
Ability to make sound decisions under pressure and to meet strict deadlines.
•
Fluency in English language, writing and speaking.
Review of applications will begin immediately and continue
until the positions are filled.
Apply by submitting a letter of application, resume with at
least three academic references and copies of undergraduate transcripts.
Applications materials should be sent to Filburn@hartford.edu as a single pdf
