Job Opportunities

(1)Spectron Inc.
Spectron Inc. is looking for published, peer reviewed, original work to highlight in our periodic newsletter. Specifically, we are looking for work authored by graduate and post graduate students. This can be any original work in Atomic Spectroscopy, with a slight preference for ICP-MS. We are hoping to include two abstracts in each of three information-only newsletters. All abstracts will be clearly cited and linked to an appropriate site for download. The final six students whose papers are chosen for each of the three newsletters will be eligible for sponsorship to a scientific conference of their choice. I am therefore also looking for three individuals in the academic community with graduate advisory responsibilities to serve as judges. These three judges and myself will choose one of the six students for sponsorship. For more information please feel free to email me offline or call the number below.

Respectfully,
Lawrence
