Jean Dreyfus Boissevain Lectureship for Undergraduate Institutions

Submitted by Kyle Grice / DePaul University on Mon, 04/08/2013 - 17:04

Hi Viper,

I know many of you are aware of this (many of schools have recently received this lectureship), but I thought i would just post this up here.

I think its great that the The Camille & Henry Dreyfus Foundation has this lectureship, it seems like a great way to bring in researchers from premier research institutions to interact with undergraduates at primarily undergraduate institutions. The deadline is coming up on May 20th.

Looks like its been used in the past to bring out people like Dan Nocera, Robert Grubbs, and Roald Hoffman.

2013 Summer Undergrad Research through CENTC

Submitted by Kyle Grice / DePaul University on Thu, 01/17/2013 - 16:58

This is a great opportunity for undergrad research. For full disclosure, I wasn't a part of CENTC when I was in graduate school, but I saw many parts of it and I think it would be a great group of poeple to work with. My PhD advisor is a part of it. They also have multiple locations.

Dear VIPEr friends,

The PhET Project at CU-Boulder (http://phet.colorado.edu) is seeking applicants for a chemistry education post-doc position focusing on the design, integration, and study of PhET simulations for College Chemistry at the introductory / general chemistry level.  I've been working on this project for the last year and a half, and it's really cool!
