Application Deadline: 1/15/2020 5:00:00 PM EST

The Arctic Advanced Manufacturing Innovator Program supports early career innovators with fresh ideas and innovative approaches to address fundamental hard technology manufacturing challenges in Alaska. Hard technology is defined as physical devices. With support from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Advanced Manufacturing Office (AMO) and in collaboration with the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF), you will have a unique opportunity to advance your early stage concept to a potentially commercialize-able opportunity with support from mentors at the UAF and at a participating DOE National Laboratory.

What will I be doing?
As an Arctic Advanced Manufacturing Innovator, you will be paired with a UAF researcher and a DOE National Laboratory researcher who are well aligned with your hard technology focus area, and who will serve as a mentor and collaborator for your project. You will also receive commercialization and entrepreneurial support from UAF.

Who do we want?

  *   Outcome-oriented, entrepreneurial technical innovators who have the drive and ability to build a foundational technology vision.
  *   Innovators with a project concept that is technically sound, reasonably differentiated, and addresses a well-framed problem with potential significant long-term impact and applicability to the Alaska market.

Where will I be?
During your first year appointment, you will be expected to spend the first three to four months at UAF, and the balance of your time at a DOE National Laboratory. Your appointment will be initially offered for twelve months with an option for a second year extension dependent on funding availability and your ability to meet program expectations. During the appointment, you will be expected to travel to UAF periodically to ensure continuation and support from UAF. Your travel periods may vary based on programmatic and project/research needs. This travel will be supported by the Travel and Training Allowance.

Why should I apply?
As an Arctic Innovator, you will get to focus full-time on your advanced manufacturing idea, enhance your education and training at top tier facilities, increase your marketability, gain access to top scientists and state-of-the-art equipment, gain insight into research and career opportunities, and collaborate and learn from experts researching, developing, and testing emerging hard technologies.

Financial Support
As an Arctic Innovator, you will receive:

  *   A competitive stipend ranging from $72,000-$110,000/year based on academic level and experience
  *   Travel and training allowance of $15,000 per appointment period
  *   Health insurance allowance
  *   Relocation allowance up to $4,000
  *   Laboratory space and technical collaboration support from UAF and your assigned DOE National Laboratory
  *   Arctic Innovator programming and mentorship.
This opportunity is available to U.S. Citizens or Lawful Permanent Residents (LPR).
