[Aspuru-Guzik group list] Fwd: Invitation to your lab from Harvard Life Sciences Undergraduate Education

by Alan Aspuru-Guzik

If anybody wants to recruit undergraduates, I need a volunteer to coordinate the 2 posters that we can present. Each poster can have many topics. As many as subgroups or individuals that want to recruit students. I will nominate Jennifer as the coordinator as she and I probably will need some organic chemistry undergraduate experts. Contact her directly.

At the LSURF Harvard faculty and researchers present posters describing their research to Harvard College undergraduates interested in conducting life sciences research. The fair provides the opportunity for you to discuss your current scientific projects with undergraduates who are interested in joining a lab. Faculty, postdoctoral fellows, graduate students, and undergraduates are all welcome to present a poster and represent their labs. At the LSURF many researchers have recruited undergraduates to join their labs, and many students find host labs. If you want to participate, contact Margaret A. Lynch <margaretlynch(a)g.harvard.edu> with the number of posters (1 or 2) that your lab wishes to present. Presenters will also have a research abstract included in an abstract booklet given to students at the fair. Find instructions for submitting an abstract here <http://lifesciences.fas.harvard.edu/lsurf>. The Life Sciences Undergraduate Education Office, Office for Undergraduate Research and Fellowships, and the Harvard College Undergraduate Research Association have co-sponsored this event since 2010. We thank you for the mentoring, training, resources, and research guidance that you and your research group provide to undergraduates. We hope that you will participate. Best regards, Margaret Margaret A. Lynch, PhD Life Sciences Undergraduate Education Division of Science Harvard University margaretlynch(a)fas.harvard.edu

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] Fwd: 2016 Building Future Faculty program - NC State University

by Alan Aspuru-Guzik

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: *BFF Program* <bff-program(a)ncsu.edu> Date: Thursday, October 1, 2015 Subject: 2016 Building Future Faculty program - NC State University To: Garry Morgan <gdmorgan(a)ncsu.edu> Cc: Marcia Gumpertz <gumpertz(a)ncsu.edu>, Leni Crook <lscrook(a)ncsu.edu> Greetings, I hope this message finds you in good spirits. As someone who connects with graduate students and post-doctoral students, I would like to draw your attention to a unique opportunity to engage future faculty members in an enriching, preparatory experience. The 2016 Building Future Faculty (BFF) program will be offered by NC State University on *Wednesday, March 30, 2016 - Saturday, April 2, 2016*. This all-expenses paid workshop is designed for diverse graduate students and post-doctoral students who are seeking a career as a faculty member. Workshop topics include information regarding what to expect as a faculty member, a discussion of the wealth of resources available to faculty for teaching, and expectations of productivity for faculty engaged in research. During the workshop, participants will spend time with current faculty and department chairs in their discipline discussing effective strategies to prepare for an academic career, and the realities of life as a faculty member, as well as receiving personal tips and feedback. This program aims to increase faculty diversity and inclusion, to create faculty that mirrors the increasingly diversified student populations, Past participants had the following things to say about the program: "The BFF program provided me with a set of new ideas that I will use as a framework for preparing and positioning myself to be a competitive faculty candidate." "This experience has certainly prepared me for the job market as a future faculty member. The knowledge I have gained and the contacts that I have acquired have been invaluable. I would recommend this program to anyone pursuing a career in academia." "I believe this program is not only benefiting the participants, but the higher education community as a whole. There are experiences I have had in this program that will remain with me throughout my career." For the application for the 2016 Building Future Faculty program, please visit http://oied.ncsu.edu/faculty/building-future-faculty-program/. Applications are due by *Monday, November 9, 2015 at 11:55 EST*. To better understand this wonderful opportunity, view our promotional video .

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] No group meeting tomorrow, some things to do instead

by Ian Kivlichan

Hi everyone, Just a heads up that tomorrow's group meeting is cancelled. Instead I'm sending an extra-long email with a few things to look at. Please take a moment to 1. bookmark / re-bookmark the group meeting schedule (here <https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1LioqdopHr5ZAmn0GaCQwLUTYoU4ZJuvfrMY…>), 2. note that group meeting will be changing to Wednesdays at 11 AM starting the week of October 19th, and 3. vote on the tutorial tricider, which I've reopened for another week (here <http://www.tricider.com/brainstorming/37bGg6Us487>). Next week we'll have a tutorial on DFT from Dmitrij. I'm currently working on the group meeting schedule through to December, so if you have an upcoming GAC / quals / anything you'd like to practice / talk about / whatever, please send me an email! Finally, a reminder that Cornelius Hempel of Rainer Blatt's group is currently visiting our group, and will be giving a talk tomorrow at 1:30 PM in the Div Room. All the best, Ian
