Discovery Corps Postdoctoral Fellowship: Fostering Green Chemistry and Engineering through Research, Education, and Service

北卡罗来纳州AT州立大学的杰迈玛·英格尔是2006-2007和2007-2008学年的探索军团博士后研究员。 Ingle的研究考察了膜表面性质在超临界CO2分离发展中的作用。 她的服务内容是基于本科生的指导和科学和工程多样性的发展。 她描述了一个“级联同行网络”，其中先进的本科生导师年轻的本科生，基于NC A T的本科生研究项目的发展，并管理/创造机会，为NC A T本科生进行本科研究，通过美国国家科学基金会科学和技术中心的环境负责的溶剂和过程，这发现军团博士后奖学金是由化学和多学科活动的办公室的司支持。探索军团奖学金计划是一项试点计划，旨在寻求新的博士后和专业发展模式，将联合收割机研究专业知识与专业服务相结合。探索团研究员通过解决国家需求领域的项目利用他们的研究专长。他们的项目提高了研究能力和基础设施，并有助于劳动力发展和创造就业机会。探索队计划支持博士后研究员和高级研究员。

Jemima Ingle, North Carolina A&T State University, is a Discovery Corps Postdoctoral Fellow for the 2006-2007 and 2007-2008 academic years. Ingle's research examines the role of membrane surface properties in the development of supercritical CO2 separations. Her service component is based on undergraduate mentoring and development for diversity in science and engineering. She describes a "cascading peer network" where advanced undergraduates mentor younger undergraduates, the development of undergraduate research projects based at NC A&T, and managing/creating opportunities for NC A&T undergraduates to conduct undergraduate research at UNC and NCSU through the NSF Science and Technology Center for Environmentally Responsible Solvents and Processes.This Discovery Corps Postdoctoral Fellowship is supported by the Division of Chemistry and the Office of Multidisciplinary Activities. The Discovery Corps Fellowship Program is a pilot program seeking new postdoctoral and professional development models that combine research expertise with professional service. Discovery Corps Fellows leverage their research expertise through projects that address areas of national need. Their projects enhance research capacity and infrastructure and contribute to workforce development and job creation. The Discovery Corps Program supports both Postdoctoral Fellows and Senior Fellows.
