Today was a good day in my world of job applications. I used my girlfriends account of careerbuzz to look at jobs pointed at techies. I found two great opportunities.

First, I found a listing for a student research contract at the EPA ecosystem lab in Athens, GA. It is studying the transport of fullerene nanoparticles in ecosystems! I figured that would be right up my alley as I am interested in both nano and sustainability. Driving to Athens would put me in the car for 2+ hours a day, but oh well. The application required a bit of work, as it needed two letters of recommendation and an official transcript. I got Dr. Meredith (undergrad research) and Dr. Reallf (senior design) to write my letters and send them in.

Secondly, I applied for an Air Quality Lab Technician spot at Air Quality Systems in Marietta, GA. Was kind of a weird posting, because they wanted someone with a 3.0+ in sciences (biology, chemistry, etc), that could also run power tools and routinely lift up to 100 lbs! Wonder what the job description is like. They are probably testing products for saftey under hazardous conditions like burning and deconstruction. Sounds cool.

Wish me luck!!
