1. Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), Los Alamos, NM (United States)

LANL seeks research assistance and skills development in three distinct subject areas over the next three years. Individualized scope and detail implementation schedules will be the first deliverable for these subject areas and will represent a joint determination between LANL SMEs and UTEP faculty based on LANL priority (schedule) and UTEP staffing (faculty and student- graduate and undergraduate) and capability of immediate availability per schedule. LANL will endeavor to make summer internships available to UTEP students within these subject areas: Chemical Sciences, Additive Manufacturing, and Metallurgy: casting and solidification, characterization, and metal purification. Unarticulated but generalized scoping tasks follow within each topical area to indicate that students and technicians familiar with these skill sets are of value and interest in LANL workforce pipeline and the tasks that seek to develop these skill sets are intentional on LANL's part. Consequently, LANL will sponsor 2-3 senior (capstone) projects within these subject areas per year over the three year time period within these task areas and within separations technologies, wet chemical analysis, and analytical characterization and quantification as required by all tasks.
