This job is a great option if you\u0026rsquo;re passionate about teaching and working with undergraduates on your research projects. At this info session, three STEM faculty members working at Harvey Mudd College will give you a feel for the day-to-day life as a faculty member at this kind of institution. We\u0026rsquo;ll have lots of time for Q and A, so please bring lots of questions!

Gallichio spent a year at the South Pole Telescope where he researched polarization of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) and served as a South Pole NSF Station Science Leader. He is also interested in devising new ways to conduct fundamental tests of quantum mechanics and has designed improvements for Bell-type tests of quantum entanglement.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EDanae Schulz\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nAssistant Professor of Biology \u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/biology\/faculty-staff\/danae-schulz\/\u0022\u003Ehttps:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/biology\/faculty-staff\/danae-schulz\/\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EDanae studies the African trypanosome, a protozoan parasite that causes sleeping sickness in humans and nagana in cattle. Trypanosomes are transmitted to the bloodstream of a mammal through the bite of a tsetse fly, eventually leading to coma and death. Danae would like to understand what allows trypanosomes to reprogram themselves to adapt as they move between the differing environments of the fly midgut and the mammalian bloodstream, with an eye toward trying to manipulate these adaptations to generate new therapies.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBrian Shuve\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nAssistant Professor of Physics \u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/about-hmc\/hmc-experts\/shuve-brian\/\u0022\u003Ehttps:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/about-hmc\/hmc-experts\/shuve-brian\/\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EBrian researches theoretical particle physics. Shuve develops and studies new theories to explain mysteries of the universe, such as the nature of dark matter and why there exists more matter than antimatter. He also devises and implements new experimental tests to learn more about the fundamental constituents and forces of matter. For example, Shuve researches how the discovery of new particles at high-energy colliders such as CERN\u0026rsquo;s Large Hadron Collider could shed light on the physical processes taking place in the early universe that shape the world as we see it today.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"A Graduate Student and Postdoc Info Session"}],"uid":"27964","created_gmt":"2019-03-27 19:00:29","changed_gmt":"2019-04-15 13:27:33","author":"Jasmine Martin","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2019-04-22T12:30:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2019-04-22T14:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2019-04-22T14:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2019-04-22 16:30:00","gmt_time_end":"2019-04-22 18:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2019-04-22 18:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"1275","name":"School of Biological Sciences"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1795","name":"Seminar\/Lecture\/Colloquium"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"177814","name":"Postdoc"},{"id":"174045","name":"Graduate students"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
