[labnetwork] Job opening in Louisiana - cleanroom manager

[Niel Crews]

We are looking to hire an Associate Director of Operations to oversee 
our cleanroom operations and equipment. Of course we are flexible, but I 
envision the ideal candidate to be a US citizen, maybe 5 years out of a 
M.S. degree in some engineering field, and currently working as a 
cleanroom technician/engineer in industry or a larger university 
facility. The link to the job listing is: 
https://www.tinytechjobs.com/cgi-bin/details?job_id=1703. I also take 
email inquiries directly at ncrews at latech.edu

Thanks,
Niel Crews
Director, Institute for Micromanufacturing
Louisiana Tech University
