This program enables diverse prospects interested in teaching to explore potential faculty career choices through exploratory interviews; formal presentations; meetings with deans, department heads, and the RIT president. Everyone is also provided with campus and community tours. The Future Faculty Program allows RIT deans to engage prospects in discussions about their academic work and career interests. It allows faculty to share RIT's teaching and research agenda and to dialog on faculty position opportunities that may be available in the near future. ** * * *Criteria:* ** ** **§ **Able to contribute in a meaningful way to the university’s continuing commitment to cultural diversity, pluralism, and individual differences. We are especially interested in applications from people of color that are underrepresented in teaching professions, i.e., African-American, Latin American, American Indian or Alaskan Native.**** **§ **Within one year of receiving or already completed Ph.D., MFA, or Post Doctoral assignment**** **§ **Desire academic teaching career at an exceptional teaching institution that also has a research focus**** **§ **Receiving degrees in disciplines offered at RIT complete list of programs <http://www.rit.edu/programs-level.html>**** **§ **Demonstrate potential to fill open and/or anticipated vacancies**** **§ **Able to travel to Rochester, NY September 18-September 22, 2013*** * ** ** *Application deadline is June 1, 2013***** ** ** *For more information and applications visit our website at*: http://www.rit.edu/academicaffairs/facultyrecruitment/faculty_program.php. ** ** Please direct any email correspondence to facultyr(a)rit.edu or telephone 585-475-5775. ****

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] moving giveaway

by sarah mostame

Hi All, Sorry for the spam. We are moving out tomorrow and since the new flat is smaller than our current flat, we cannot take few items. Here are two that are nearly new and didn't want to trash them. Let me know if you are interested, they are for free: 1) JAREN Spring mattress - twin size (it is roughly new, we bought it for our guest room but rarely used it). 2) PATENTED Acid Reflux Bed Wedge System (this is also nearly new, just used it for few nights). Here is the link for this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005ZVU4FA/ref=oh_details_o08_s00_i00?ie=U… Best regards, Sarah ------ Sarah Mostame, Ph.D. Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology Harvard University 12 Oxford Street, Room M104 Cambridge, MA 02138 email: mostame(a)fas.harvard.edu http://aspuru.chem.harvard.edu/sarah-mostame/

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] Chem242.

by Alan Aspuru-Guzik

Dear group members, I recall some of you co-taught Chem242 a few semesters ago. I think Dmitrij and Semion as well as Cesar were involved. Did you guys have the complete set of notes/problem sets/etc. for the course you created? Kang-Kuen Ni, our incoming faculty member in physical chemistry (copied) is going to teach Chem242 and sharing such notes will be very much appreciated. I am sharing with her my (old) notes of when I taught with James, but yours are probably more updated. If so, let me know and maybe one of you can share a Dropbox with Kang-Kuen and me with all the materials? Thank you all!

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] ITAMP topical lunch discussion: Thursday May 30 @ 12:00

by Mikhail Lemeshko

Dear Friends, On Thursday, May 30, there will be an ITAMP topical lunch discussion. Tea Room (P-226) @ CfA (60 Garden Street) Time: 12:00-1:30 As always pizza will be served. Speaker: Eric Kessler Title: Dissipative entanglement creation between two nuclear spin ensembles in a double quantum dot Abstract: We study the nuclear spin dynamics driven by electron transport and hyperfine interaction in an electrically defined double quantum dot (DQD) in the spin-blockade regime. This rather generic transport setting is shown to display an instability towards the build-up of opposite nuclear polarizations in the two QDs. Such Overhauser field gradients have recently been demonstrated to allow for universal control of the two electron spin degree of freedom [Foletti, S., et al. Nat. Phys 5, 903 (2009)]. Moreover, we show that the steady state is not merely an inhomogeneously polarized state but – due to a quantum interference effect – the two nuclear ensembles in the host environment are actively pumped into an entangled target state. Based on a self-consistent Holstein-Primakoff approximation, we derive an effective quantum master equation for the nuclear spins which features an unique entangled steady state, reminiscent of a two-mode squeezed state in quantum optics. Accordingly, long lasting entanglement is built up deterministically. Looking forward to seeing you there, Misha Lemeshko -- Dr. Mikhail Lemeshko Institute for Theoretical Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics (ITAMP) Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics MS-14 60 Garden St. Cambridge, MA 02138 U.S.A. mlemeshko(a)cfa.harvard.edu http://sites.google.com/site/mishalemeshko/ Tel. +1 (617) 496-7610 Fax +1 (617) 496-7668

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] ITAMP early-bird seminar: Wednesday May 29 @ 10:00

by Mikhail Lemeshko

Dear Friends, On Wednesday, May 29, there will be an ITAMP early-bird seminar. Classroom (A-101) @ CfA (60 Garden Street) Time: 10:00-11:30 Speaker: Panagiotis Giannakeas (ZOQ, University of Hamburg) Title: Frame transformations in confined geometries: Higher partial wave and dipolar scattering in waveguides Abstract: A nonperturbative theoretical framework based on the idea of local frame transformation is developed in order to investigate multichannel scattering processes within a quasi-one-dimensional waveguide geometry. This treatment incorporates contributions from higher angular momentum states and it is applied to higher partial wave scattering with two-body isotropic interactions and on dipolar collisions. The rigorousness of this approach deepens the theoretical understanding on the collisional properties of the corresponding systems and its quantitative results, i.e. their resonance conditions, may constitute a key ingredient in order to design and probe exotic and strongly correlated many-body phases. Looking forward to seeing you there, Misha Lemeshko -- Dr. Mikhail Lemeshko Institute for Theoretical Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics (ITAMP) Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics MS-14 60 Garden St. Cambridge, MA 02138 U.S.A. mlemeshko(a)cfa.harvard.edu http://sites.google.com/site/mishalemeshko/ Tel. +1 (617) 496-7610 Fax +1 (617) 496-7668
