Something to Chew On: Library Stuff, Services, Space, and Support

September 20, 2022

12pm-1pm

In Something to Chew On: Library Stuff, Services, Space, and Support, Mack, Kimberly and Leslie will provide an overview of ways the Georgia Tech community can engage with the Library. From checking out books or gadgets and accessing electronic materials, to reserving spaces for meetings and events, the Library and Clough have something for everyone – even if it’s just to get away for a cup of coffee, a bite to eat, or time to reflect. Plus, using the Library is easier than ever thanks to a team of caring, knowledgeable, and fun professionals who are always ready to assist. Please join us to learn about how our Library is the scholarly heart of the Georgia Tech community and a place where everyone belongs.

ASCE Coffee Chat

ASCE will be hosting several coffee chats throughout the academic year, and we would like to invite graduate students to join. The coffee chat is designed to bring together industry professionals, GT professors, graduates, and undergraduate students to discuss current issues/innovations in their field. There are many undergraduates wanting to know more about graduate school and have questions about research/work life. 
 
Please fill out this  interest form .
 
You can register for the event using the following link: https://forms.gle/AGrBxDQ5h6C6GSzj7 
If they have any questions or concerns, please direct them to Lisa Wu:  lwu97@gatech.edu

ASU Engineering Resilient and Sustainable Environments T/TT Position

ASU is searching for a T/TT open rank position focused on engineering resilient and sustainable environments: https://apply.interfolio.com/112197. Will you please forward to your postdocs, graduating PhD students, and colleagues. ASU has a large and growing faculty focused on resilience and sustainability, and this is a remarkable opportunity to work in an institution that has made these goals part of its DNA, where interdisciplinary research is viewed as necessary, supported and encouraged. The candidate will be seated in the Sustainable Engineering group of Civil, Environmental and Sustainable Engineering.

The applicant will be expected to contribute substantially to the school’s sustainable engineering concentration area, joining a group of faculty members who are leaders in interdisciplinary infrastructure systems, construction, and environmental engineering across ASU and beyond. Candidates will have a Ph.D. in engineering, or a closely related field, with a research and scholarly focus on engineering for resilient and sustainable environments, such as climate adaptation, cyberphysical system integration and security, resource recovery and circular economy, agile and flexible infrastructure for uncertainty, management of integrated infrastructure-social-ecological systems, or preparing infrastructure for increasingly complex conditions. Candidates whose work involves analyzing interdependencies among myriad networks (e.g., transportation, water, power, communications), identifying and mitigating vulnerabilities through the engineering of smart and connected systems and designing smart and connected communities of the future are also encouraged to apply.

2023 HHMI Gilliam Fellowships – Nominations Open

After our first adviser-student selection in 2022, we are now requesting nominations for the Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s (HHMI) 2023 Gilliam Fellowships for Advanced Study via InfoReady. Please share this information with your graduate students and faculty as appropriate. The GT internal deadline is Sunday September 18, 2022 at 11:59pm.

Faculty and Administrators should use this form to submit nominations for adviser-student pairs who work in biomedical sciences, life sciences, or biological questions in related disciplines. This includes basic research on a variety of biological systems and at all scales including at the molecular, cellular, organismal, and ecological levels. GT will be allowed to nominate a total of 3 adviser-student pairs to HHMI and GT nominees will be chosen by way of an internal review process.

In brief, prospective student fellows must be:

  • (i) U.S. citizens, U.S. permanent residents, undocumented childhood arrivals, or undocumented individuals who have been granted temporary permission to stay in the US (DACA),
  • (ii) from populations excluded from and underrepresented in science because of ethnicity, race (Black or African American, Latinx or Hispanic American, American Indian, Native Hawaiian, Alaska Native, and from groups indigenous to the Pacific Island territories of the United States) or disability status (physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activity),
  • (iii) in their second or third year of a PhD program, and/ or have at least two full years of study remaining, and have or will advance to candidacy by September 1, 2023.

If selected, there are commitments for both the thesis adviser and the student fellow.  Further information can be found on InfoReady, in the email copied below and in the 2023 Gilliam Program Announcement.

Please distribute to any colleagues I may have missed and let me know if there are any questions.
