Part-Time Internship in Geologic Hydrogen
Koloma is a clean energy company developing technologies that will enable the production of low cost, reliable, carbon-free hydrogen. Our mission is to harness naturally occurring geologic hydrogen energy sources to reduce carbon emissions and combat climate change.
We are seeking highly motivated students in the Earth Sciences, Engineering, Chemistry, Natural Resources, Environmental Science, and other STEM fields for our part-time internship program. This is an excellent opportunity for undergraduate students to gain hands-on experience in the innovative science of geologic hydrogen and contribute to our ongoing projects.
Our office and laboratories are located on the western campus of The Ohio State University. We are looking for motivated students to work in our state-of-the-art analytical laboratory and contribute to geologic and analytical research projects. Ideal candidates will passionately maintain rigorous quality control, high attention to detail, and safe working conditions.
Responsibilities (vary according to assigned project):
- Manage rock, water, and gas samples and associated metadata
- Prepare samples for analysis and follow standard operating procedures
- Learn new analytical instrumentation and perform basic equipment maintenance
- Record data and results with accuracy and responsibility; carefully manage digital data
- Perform data analysis and research as directed by project manager
- Perform other tasks as assigned by project manager
- Ensure that all safety guidelines are followed strictly at all times; organize and store all chemical substances and samples according to safety instructions
- Maintain a clean and orderly environment
What we offer:
- An inclusive, dynamic, and collaborative work environment
- Hands-on experience in a state-of-the-art analytical lab. Expand your knowledge of lab safety protocols, the use of analytical instruments (e.g., x-ray diffraction, x-ray fluorescence, chromatography, microscopy, mass spectrometry, etc.), data analysis, and how these data are used to make decisions
- Opportunity to work on innovative science in the field of geologic hydrogen
- Mentorship from experienced professionals in the field
Qualifications:
