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

杰米玛·英格尔来自北卡罗来纳农工大学，2006-2007学年和2007-2008学年是探索军团的博士后研究员。英格尔的研究考察了膜表面特性在超临界二氧化碳分离发展中的作用。她的服务部分基于本科生的指导和发展，以促进科学和工程领域的多样性。她描述了一个“层叠的同行网络”，在这里，高级本科生指导年轻本科生，在北卡罗来纳大学开发本科研究项目，并通过NSF环境负责溶剂和工艺科学和技术中心，管理/创造机会，为北卡罗来纳大学和NCSU本科生进行本科生研究。这一发现兵团博士后奖学金由化学部和多学科活动办公室支持。探索军团奖学金计划是一个试点计划，寻求将研究专业知识与专业服务相结合的新的博士后和专业发展模式。探索兵团研究员通过解决国家需求领域的项目来利用他们的研究专长。他们的项目增强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。探索团队计划同时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.
