    <div class="html-content"><p><strong>CIC conference for URM postdocs in STEM</strong><br>
    May 31-June 2, 2012<br>
    Hyatt Place Columbus/OSU<br>
    795 Yard Street, Columbus, OH 43212</p>
    <p>CIC <a href="http://www.cic.net/Home/AboutCIC/CICUniversities.aspx" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">member campuses</a> are committed to recruiting and retaining diverse<br>
    faculty. The goal of this conference is to provide Postdoctoral<br>
    Scholars from groups historically underrepresented in Engineering and<br>
    Natural Sciences the opportunity to network and access information and<br>
    materials necessary for a successful transition to a faculty position<br>
    at CIC universities or similar research intensive institutions.</p>
    <p>The conference is also designed to provide recruitment opportunities<br>
    for CIC departments and programs anticipating faculty hires in STEM<br>
    disciplines (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics). The<br>
    intent is to match potential faculty recruits with open searches at<br>
    CIC universities. For more information, see<br>
