The NSF Sponsored (Grant #1642025) Future Faculty Workshop on the topic of The Chemistry, Physics, Engineering, and Biology of Soft Materials was held July 30, 31, and August 1, 2017 in Cleveland, OH. 45 Mentees and 25 mentors from across the country gathered at the Tinkman Veale University center at Case Western Reserve University to discuss a broad range of topics, including how to best prepare for a faculty position, how to apply for jobs in academia, and best practices for success. The event was organized by Thomas Epps III (University of Delaware Chemical Engineering), LaShanda Korley (Case Western Macromolecular Science and Engineering), and Emily Pentzer (Case Western Chemistry). The event will next be held in the summer of 2018, location TBD.
