Req No: 2021-12714
Category: Other
Type: Student
Salary: 18.17
Close Date: 12/31/2021

Overview
Under direction, incumbents must have course work in the discipline requested on the task order Statement of Work.

The Benthic Microbial Fuel Cell (BMFC) system is a groundbreaking technology that supports the Navy. The Navy seeks to improve the microbial fuel cell technologies to obtain more power production in deep sea and cold environments. With the use of BMFC, the Navy pursues to improve efficiencies to add in supplemental power sources.


Responsibilities
Studying microbial data with the BMFC Team and assist in setting up and monitoring experiments. The student will research, analyze data, model, and test optimal environmental conditions for electrogenic bacteria of interest and their effect on power production in BMFCs.

Reviewing, analyzing and documenting specific operational procedures, and background literature research.

• Reviewing, analyzing, and documenting, specific operational procedures, and complying with all safety procedures in the labs.
• Performing literature searches and reviews; compiling and cataloging background material; and/or preparing summaries and bibliographies pertaining to benthic microbial fuel cell (BMFC) technologies.
• Preparing technical documentation, papers, posters, or presentations.
• Drafting Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) for laboratory experiments
  

Designing, modeling, fabrication, testing, and analysis: exercising and testing models
utilizing simulation, emulation, numerical and statistical analyses techniques,
programing, and standard test and evaluation. Student will need to plot and model data
for electrical, environmental, genetic, or metabolic testing results

• Performing data conversion and coding, and data analysis and data reduction.
• Designing and setting up experiments, and preparing experimental components
• Collecting and preparing sediment samples for analytical testing.
• Documentation of experimental design process, diagrams, models, and data results.
