Continued job opportunities and economic growth through high-tech partnerships further reveal that New York State is 'open for business'
As a showcase of Governor Andrew Cuomo’s innovation-driven economic development model embodied by New York’s globally recognized nanotechnology industry, the College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering (CNSE) of the University at Albany will host a High-Tech Job Fair – supported by a joint community outreach to strongly encourage participation from women and underrepresented social groups in engineering and technical fields – to assist M+W Group in adding more than 50 positions to its workforce in New York’s Capital Region.
The job fair is scheduled for Tuesday, August 28 from 4:30 to 8 p.m. at CNSE’s Albany NanoTech Complex.
Among more than 50 career opportunities are positions in various areas of design operations and construction management, including architects, engineers and designers, project managers, and accounting and support staff. These positions carry annual salaries that range from $40,000 to over $100,000, and some offer both domestic and international travel opportunities in support of M+W’s global projects.
A significant outreach effort is now underway to encourage women and minority candidates, as well as veterans, to participate in the event. Those interested in attending and interviewing at the Job Fair are encouraged to pre-register and upload their resumes online by visiting http://cnse.albany.edu/Outreach/JobFair2012.aspx.
About CNSE
The UAlbany CNSE is the first college in the world dedicated to education, research, development and deployment in the emerging disciplines of nanoscience, nanoengineering, nanobioscience and nanoeconomics. With more than $14 billion in high-tech investments, CNSE represents the world’s most advanced university-driven research enterprise, offering students a one-of-a-kind academic experience and providing over 300 corporate partners with access to an unmatched ecosystem for leading-edge R&D and commercialization of nanoelectronics and nanotechnology innovations.
CNSE’s footprint spansupstate New York, including its Albany NanoTech Complex, an 800,000-square-foot megaplex with the only fully-integrated, 300mm wafer, computer chip pilot prototyping and demonstration line within 85,000 square feet of Class 1 capable cleanrooms. More than 2,700 scientists, researchers, engineers, students and faculty work here, from companies including IBM, Intel, GlobalFoundries, SEMATECH, Samsung,TSMC, Toshiba, Applied Materials, Tokyo Electron, ASML and NovellusSystems. An expansion now underway, part of which will house the world’s first Global 450mm Consortium, will add nearly 500,000 square feet of next-generation infrastructure, an additional 50,000 square feet of Class 1 capable cleanrooms, and more than 1,000 scientists, researchers and engineers from CNSE and global corporations. In addition, CNSE’s Solar Energy Development Center in Halfmoon provides a prototyping and demonstration line for next-generation CIGS thin-film solar cells. CNSE’s Smart System Technology and Commercialization Center of Excellence (STC) in Rochester offers state-of-the-art capabilities for MEMS fabrication and packaging. CNSE also co-founded and manages operations at the Computer Chip Commercialization Center at SUNYIT inUtica and is a co-founder of the Nanotechnology Innovation and Commercialization Excelerator in Syracuse.
