A BMES (Biomedical Engineering Society) chapter is in the works here at OSU. This is one of the biggest national chapters for biomedical engineering. It is open to anyone graduate, undergraduate, and professors/post-docs, etc. who are interested in the field. This is part of the national organization, see website below. 

We will be having a discussion on available leadership positions, be a part of creating a new and exciting club on campus. The criteria for officer positions is to be a part of the national chapter ($30 student dues). 

The BMES society is a great way to make Industry, Academic, and other contacts with leading experts all around the US. We will have the opportunity to travel to conferences, and learn about new advances in the field all across campus. 

First meeting will be held Gleeson 306 on Tuesday December 2nd at 5pm. If you cannot make the meeting, but would still like to be involved please contact me at ramanr@onid.oregonstate.edu

I want to bring to your attention an opening at the Assistant Professor level in Analytical/Environmental Chemistry at the University of Washington:

Workshop-style course resulting in applications that are ready for IRB review. Ethical issues in research will be discussed. Students will draft all submission materials outside of class and participate in the critique of each other’s protocols and consent forms. IRB approval will not be granted as part of this class. Graded P/N.

PREREQS: (a) CITI Course – Curriculum 1 Human Subjects Protection (Group 1 Social/Behavioral Research Investigators and Key Personnel OR Group 2 Biomedical Researchers). Register at https://www.citiprogram.org/ and affiliate with OSU. (b) Students must have prior sign-off from their mentor/major professor indicating that their research topic has been approved and that the student has successfully completed the basic research methods requirements in their program.

This conference is of interest to graduate students and post-docs in physical chemistry, physics, and related areas of biology.  It takes place January 29 – February 1, 2015 at the Asilomar Conference Center in Pacific Grove, California.  More information is available at our website www.pacificspectroscopy.org.  The early registration deadline is just around the corner:  November 24, 2014.

One of the hallmarks of this conference is that 100% of the contributed talks are reserved for graduate students and post-docs—many of our invited speakers gave their first talk at this conference 10, 20, even 40 years ago!  Because of this policy the conference has special value and draw for students and post-docs.

Thank you for your help in sustaining and strengthening the Pacific Conference on Spectroscopy and Dynamics and providing your students and post-docs with a great opportunity to learn about cutting edge advances in spectroscopy and the science it enables.

The Center for Teaching and Learning provides $2,000 to OSU faculty for the redesign of established undergraduate classroom courses as hybrid courses through the Hybrid Course Initiative. These funds are in support of participation in the hybrid faculty learning community and the development of a new hybrid course. Request for Proposals now available; proposals are due Dec. 20, 2014.
