Assistant Editor, Chemical Engineering Progress Job at Internetwork Expert in Ne

Overview

Ever eat an Impossible Burger, cooked plant-based chicken, or recycled a plastic water bottle? There isn’t a facet of modern life that chemical engineers haven’t touched. Chemical engineers have been part of almost every major development from plastics and fibers to unleaded gasoline to solar power and medicines. AIChE, founded in 1908, is a professional society of more than 60,000 chemical engineers in 110 countries. Its members work in corporations, universities, and government, using their knowledge of chemical processes to develop safe and useful products for the benefit of society. AIChE fosters and disseminates chemical engineering knowledge, assists the professional and personal growth of its members, and applies the expertise of its members to address societal needs and improve the quality of life. Through its varied programs, AIChE continues to be a focal point for information exchange on the frontiers of chemical engineering research in such areas as energy, sustainability, biological and environmental engineering, nanotechnology, and chemical plant safety and security.

About CEP : Chemical Engineering Progress (CEP) is the flagship publication of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE). CEP is a monthly trade magazine. Feature articles in CEP provide guidance, “how to” advice, or an overview of a technology and are written by subject-matter experts. All 60,000 AIChE members have access to the digital flipbook and the CEP mobile app, and the print magazine is mailed to about 15,000 members. The majority of readers work in industry, with a smaller percentage in academia, and our audience includes chemical engineers, biological engineers, chemists, and related scientists at all career stages.
