LATinE: Latinx Trailblazers in Engineering opportunity

[announce at designsafe-ci.org]

At Purdue University, LATinE is a new initiative intended to increase the
number and success of Latinx/Hispanic engineering faculty in the U.S., who
in turn will blaze new trails with new discoveries, innovations and social
impact and serve as role models for the next generation of engineers.



The goal of the LATinE program is to prepare the best and brightest
Latinx/Hispanic scholars nearing completion of their PhD degrees or
postdoctoral appointments at U.S. universities for a career in engineering
academia. Those selected as LATinE fellows will attend a two-day workshop
that will provide opportunities for scientific interactions and
career-oriented discussions.



*LATinE 2020 takes place May 20-22, 2020, at Purdue University, West
Lafayette, Indiana. *



LATinE fellows will network with leading Latinx/Hispanic faculty and
scientists who will present keynote speeches and talks throughout the
program.



*Eligibility.* Latinx/Hispanic PhD students/postdocs in engineering or
related disciplines at a U.S. research university who expect to complete
their PhD/postdoctoral appointments at a U.S. universities in 2020 or 2021,
and are interested in applying for faculty positions in the U.S., are
eligible for this program.

25 talented LATinE fellows will be selected for this year's program. Purdue
University College of Engineering will cover meals and shared
accommodations for two nights and reimburse reasonable travel expenses up
to $650.
