These interactions will give you direct insight into how deals are evaluated, how portfolio companies are supported, and how strategic decisions are made across the investment landscape. Your research skills will be put to work as you help identify and source new expert service providers across various specialties. This critical work will expand our network, save the team valuable time on future projects, and directly accelerate how quickly we can deliver solutions to our clients. You'll see the tangible impact of your contributions as the experts you discover become part of client engagements. Beyond client-facing work, you'll be invited into team meetings where you'll observe and learn how a small, high-performing business operates day-to-day. You'll gain perspective on everything from strategic planning and business development to operations and client relationship management-insights that are rarely available in traditional internship roles. This role is ideal for someone who is curious, resourceful, enjoys research and relationship-building, and wants to understand both the private equity industry and how innovative B2B businesses create value for their clients. Why we're interested in you: · A genuinely good person who loves to win and believes in “we” more than “me” · A love of solving puzzles · Enjoys a fast-paced environment and working on multiple projects · Amazing verbal and written interpersonal skills · A sharp attention to detail · Self-motivated with strong ability to work both in teams and alone to get jobs done on time · A currently enrolled student with a demonstrated track record of differentiated success · Fun to be around in an entrepreneurial environment Why you should be interested in us: · Great culture focused on teamwork, values, growth, and winning for our clients · Business exposure that most people don't get until they get an MBA · Ability to build connections and dive deeper into a variety of fields in the business world · Fun environment to work in with a close-knit team · Experience working in a fast-moving entrepreneurial environment · We're creating a market · There's no other company like us in the world This internship will be on-site in our Brentwood, TN office.

The University of Tennessee has an opening for a Research Assistant/Associate Professor in the area of integrated plasma - material interaction modeling for fusion reactors. The successful candidate will be working with a new University of Tennessee-Oak Ridge Innovation Institute (UTORII) project to develop integrated models predicting fusion plasma facing armor component performance and using this insight in developing materials for extreme applications with a focus on fusion environments. This work will be focused on utilizing a suite of computational boundary plasma physics and multiscale materials modeling techniques ranging from the SOL-PS and GITR codes for boundary plasma and impurity modeling, in addition to first principles- based electronic structure models to molecular dynamics and mesoscale models such as kinetic Monte Carlo or spatially-dependent reaction-diffusion-advection cluster dynamics. The integrated modeling of plasma material interactions also requires experience with code coupling frameworks such the integrated plasma simulator (IPS) framework to manage complex workflows associated with coupling plasma and material modeling codes. The research faculty will work collaboratively with a team of faculty, postdoctoral associates, and students in Nuclear Engineering (NE), Mechanical Engineering (ME), Materials Science and Engineering (MSE), and Physics, as well as scientists at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Demonstrated Research Skills Strong communication skills and a demonstrated ability to work in a collaborative team environment spanning experiments and modeling. A clear path to independence as a researcher is desired, although collaboration with more senior investigators will be expected. Since the investigator may participate in providing some level of instruction in accord with the UT-ORII mission, some formal teaching experience is desirable. A commitment to mentoring junior investigators who will work with the Research Faculty is important and, if available, demonstrated experience is a plus. Required: PhD in Nuclear Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Pyhysics, Materials Science, Chemistry, or other discipline related to development of Materials for Extremes. Significant research experience following the doctoral degree is desired, with a documented publication record. Demonstrated experience with integrated plasma - materials interaction modeling within a code coupling paradigm. Experience with obtaining funding and student mentoring is beneficial. Candidates with experience in more than one discipline, or interest in collaboration across these disciplines, are preferred. However, candidates who can define a unique area are also encouraged. This position require the ability to be granted a site-access badge for the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). Additional Information About Position This is a 12-month, non-tenure track position. The appointment will be with the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. The position will be implemented as an initial three-year contract with full salary support for the first year, followed by a gradual decrease in salary coverage such that the successful applicant will receive 50% salary support in year 5 (if renewed after the third year) and is expected to receive extramural funding by year 3 or earlier. The applicant will be expected to recruit multiple graduate students by year three. Continuation of the position will depend on the success of the hire and the team in attracting multi-year funding. A competitive startup package including support for PhD students and budget for equipment will be offered. Salary and title/rank will be determined commensurate with experience. Benefits will be typical of exempt employees at the University of Tennessee.
