Dr. Reynolds received the following & asked that I share it.
Hi Bill,
I hope all is well with you!
I wanted to bring to your attention
to a summer internship opening in my department at TMS. The role is very well
suited for an undergraduate student interested in learning more (in an office
environment) about the materials science and engineering (MS&E) community
and the engagement of that community in various strategic areas of MS&E. As
described in the attached position description, the intern will have the
opportunity to work on some exciting initiatives in areas such as additive
manufacturing, energy, lightweighting, and materials data. It’s also a great
opportunity to do some networking with TMS technical staff and TMS members
(professionals) in a variety of areas in the field; thus providing insights and
connections which could prove valuable for their ultimate career path choice.
I was hoping you could especially
communicate this directly to any exceptional students in your department who
might be interested. I’ve found some of the best
candidates come from personal outreach, and I’d really appreciate any
connections you might help us make. Although having you directly discuss this
with such students might be especially effective, I’ve also included a message
below that you may wish to use for emailing the details. We have to move
quickly on this because summer is rapidly approaching – please note below the April 10th submission deadline.
Please don’t hesitate to let me know
if you have any questions.
Many thanks,
George

TMS is an international professional society of more than 13,000 members, and is
headquartered in Pittsburgh, PA. This internship is a unique opportunity to
learn about the profession and make some networking connections (from
within an office environment), while helping to advance some exciting
initiatives in areas such additive manufacturing, energy, lightweighting, and
materials data.
Attached is a full job description.
Applicants are asked to submit a resume and cover letter to jscott@tms.org no later than April 10.
