Russian Engineers and
Scientists Project
The Detroit ATS Chapter is continuing to assist newly arrived engineers
and scientists from the former Soviet Union. A large number of these
highly qualified and talented New Jewish Americans now reside in the
Detroit area. They are in need of assistance with regard to job placement,
networking in the scientific community and familiarity with their areas of
discipline in the U.S.
Led by board members, Michael Egren, Salman Grand and Roman
Lundin, the Chapter has begun efforts to review and circulate resumes.
Detroit Chapter board members, as well as a number of former
immigrants who have successfully resettled in the Detroit area, have
consulted with the Resettlement Service and the Jewish Vocational
Service to implement a program that will serve this talented and
potentially productive population.
Together with Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Detroit, the Chapter is
developing an incubator that will serve the most highly qualified scientists
among the recent arrivals.
Individuals, particularly those with expertise in engineering and scientific
fields, who would like to participate in this project should contact Isaac
