The goal of this virtual conference is to create a regional action network on environmental justice by bringing together Purdue researchers, artists, scholars and stakeholders, and including peers working at research institutions across the state. Through the conference, Purdue will bring diverse scholars and leaders together to broaden the conversation on environmental justice with a focus Indiana and the Midwest by inviting researchers in areas including environmental sciences, racial & social justice, decolonization, engineering, law and environmental policy, and the visual and performing arts with the intention of starting long-term collaborations and conversations to maximize the impact of discussions moving forward.

Birck Events and Birck News

Reminder: Access to Birck

We’re past the January 24^th deadline to take the annual recertification for Birck access, and users who didn’t take the online BNC 151 recertification training have lost their access. To regain access now requires retaking BNC 111, and we have a special BNC 111 Passport Badge called “Retake BNC 111.” If you have lost your access please go into Passport and sign up for the BNC 111 Retake. You will complete all the online pre-work and then attend an in-person training session to complete the requirements. Your access will be reinstated at that point.

Job Opportunity

My name is Amy Bonecutter-Leonard, and I am the manager of the Microelectronics Department of L3Harris. We are looking for graduate level (MS, PhD, or Post Doc) students who have had extensive experience instrumenting and testing properties of superconducting materials and devices (e.g., RRR and Icrit), as well as investigations of fundamental properties such as thermal conductivity, and the role of impurities and grain structure. It is also desired that this person have experience with instrumenting and making high frequency (GHz) measurements at cryogenic temperatures. I will be participating in the Graduate Purdue Career Fair on 2/16/21, and my team member, Robert Wortman (a Purdue grad!), will be present at other Purdue recruiting events. If you have anyone in your groups that will be graduating in the next year, please feel free to share my email with them so they can go ahead and send their resume as well.
