Recruitment and nurturing of a new faculty
Abstract
Abstract The Jackson State University (JSU) Navy STEM proposal will recruit a materials science faculty in the areas of polymer or nanomaterials science relevant to the research mission of the Department of the Navy. JSU is the fifth largest HBCU in the country with significant research and education programs related to the Department of Defense in General, but specifically to the Department of Navy. The acquired start-up funds will be provided to the new faculty member to start new research programs that are important for the Navy. The new faculty will visit Navy research laboratories, attend Navy research or Department of Defense conferences to engage in conversations with the Navy. The new faculty is expected to supervise both undergraduate and graduate students from the traditionally underrepresented minority population and contribute to the development of a diverse of workforce for the Navy.
