ADVANCE Workshop for Prospective Faculty
Description:
The Northeastern University ADVANCE program will be holding a workshop on Interdisciplinary Networking for Prospective Faculty (October 26, 2009) to be held in conjunction with the 9th Annual Research and Industry Collaboration Conference sponsored by the NSF Engineering Research Center for Subsurface Sensing and Imaging Systems and the Department of Homeland Security ALERT Center of Excellence. The workshop begins with a series of topics related to searching for a faculty position and positioning one’s self for the early years of academic life and continues with participation at the Sensing & Imaging Systems workshop. Participants will have the opportunity to present research in a poster session with participants from Northeastern University, Boston University, Rensselaer Institute of Technology, and the University of Puerto Rico at Mayaguez. The event will be an opportunity to meet with faculty and student researchers at four major research institutions as well as with representatives from industry.
The Northeastern University ADVANCE program will cover the expenses of invited participants. In addition to excellence in scholarship, acceptance will be based on the ability of the participant to enhance the diversity of the professoriate in engineering and science, so there is a focus on women and underrepresented minorities. Applications are sought from senior PhD students (one or two years away from graduating) and postdocs. We seek participants from the wide range of disciplines (computer science, mathematics, electrical engineering, statistics, computer engineering, etc.) that support sensing and imaging technologies.
