Congratulations!!! 🤩

Congratulations to Dr. David Zubia, Professor in UTEP's Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, for leading one of the six research projects to receive funding aimed at strengthening cross-border collaborations!

His project, Microelectronics workforce development, in partnership with Dr. José Mireles Jr. and Dr. Abimael Jiménez from UACJ, will deliver a hybrid course on semiconductor fundamentals to students at UTEP and seven universities in Chihuahua and Morelos. This initiative will not only advance microelectronics workforce development but also enhance UTEP's undergraduate programs in this critical field.

“The hope of a secure and livable world lies with disciplined nonconformists, who are dedicated to justice, peace, and brotherhood. The trailblazers in human, academic, scientific, and religious freedom have always been nonconformists. In any cause that concerns the progress of mankind, put your faith in the nonconformist!” – Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Today, we honor Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. for his bravery, perseverance, and commitment to freedom for all. While there is a long way to go and more work to do, we thank Dr. King and the Civil Rights Movement Leaders, members, and supporters for leading us closer to the path of justice.

Chicagoland Postdoc Recruitment Initiative deadline extended until this Friday!

Northwestern University, the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC), and the University of Chicago (UChicago) have extended the deadline to apply for the annual Chicagoland Diverse STEM Postdoc Recruitment Initiative to Friday, September 22.

This two-day, virtual, event is open to all advanced PhD students in STEM. The goals of the event are to address the "pipeline" challenge in STEM for historically marginalized graduate students; and to recruit and retain individuals from groups that have been traditionally underrepresented in academia and the sciences.

The programming includes:
- Overviews of the postdoc programs at Northwestern, UIC, and UChicago
- Demystifying the Postdoc Search: From Finding a Position to - - --- Negotiating an Offer
- Effective Interviewing
- Making the Most of Your Postdoc Experience
- And more!

Participants will be matched with faculty volunteers at each institution for informational interviews. Prospective postdoc participants will be responsible for scheduling virtual informational interviews with their faculty partners once they receive their match information in early October. Several faculty from a range of disciplines are participating!

Eligibility
This opportunity is for advanced (post-candidacy) PhD students, recent PhD grads, or early-career postdoc scholars in STEM fields who identify as an underrepresented racial and/or ethnic minority, disabled, LGBTQIA+, or first-gen. There is no citizenship requirement.

Applications
Applications are open. The new deadline is Friday, September 22.
