Our customers have the following job openings:
Research Associate Opening
Air Force Research Laboratory - Space Vehicles Directorate
The AFRL Space Weather Center of Excellence located at Hanscom AFB near Boston,
MA is seeking to hire a theoretical physical chemist at the post-doctoral level
to study chemical processes associated with cooling the atmosphere after a solar
magnetic storm. The position calls for a highly motivated individual to conduct
research in collisions involving electrons and atomic and molecular species as
well as collisions involving N and O atoms with O2 and N2. The successful
candidate will join the existing Space Weather program. Experience with
atomic/molecular spectroscopy is also desirable.
Note that the laboratory is scheduled to be moved to Kirtland AFB in
Albuquerque, NM in summer 2011, where a new state-of-the-art facility is being
constructed adjacent to existing Space Vehicles Directorate facilities. It is
anticipated that numerous federal appointments will become available in the next
18-36 months for AFRL researchers willing to relocate.
Applicants must be US citizens. Prospective or recent (past five years) PhDs and
more senior PhDs are typically initially hired into National Research Council
(NRC) Postdoctoral and Senior Associateships, respectively. See
http://www7.nationalacademies.org/rap/ for a description of the NRC program
stipend, benefits, and policies under the AFRL section. The submission package
includes a modest-length proposal written in consultation with lab personnel,
together with supporting documentation, with the next proposal due date being
November 1. Interested candidates should contact Dr. Ramesh Sharma ramesh.sharma@hanscom.af.mil)
for more information.

PRECISION GLASS MOLDING & SLUMPING
Take advantage of one of the most advanced and unique glass molding facilities
in the U.S. We can mold, slump and shape standard flat borosilicate (Pyrex™),
soda lime float glass, fused quartz and other exotic sheet glasses into
precision curved shapes.
E-mail your project description and drawing to us today for a quick quote or
call our sales representative to discuss your requirements:
The quality of our molded glass blanks is on par with traditional ground and
polished parts. In comparison to ground and polished parts, glass molding
offers: faster production rates, better surface quality for coating, larger
sized molding capabilities and significantly lower manufacturing costs.
We offer the following types of glass molding:
* Glass press molding
* Glass gravity & vacuum assist slumping
* High pressure molding
* Spin molding
Our automated glass press systems are for very high-volume, low-cost
manufacturing of precision glass and borosilicate products.
