Welcome to the College of Science
Welcome the Class of 2012!
The first day of class is upon us and we welcome more than 1,000 first-year students to the College of Science. The Purdue Science Student Council hosted its New Student Orientation picnic on Sunday, August 24, where students had the chance to meet representatives from other student organizations on campus.
During Boiler Gold Rush we hope you learned what you need to be successful in your student life. We also hope you learned about Purdue's rich traditions that you will carry with you not only through your academic careers but through your life. We wish you all the best.
Go Boilers!

Faculty searches
The Purdue University College of Science and its seven departments are adding almost 30 members to its rolls as a result of a very successful hiring season. View the faculty search ad and hiring web site for more background.
COALESCE Multidisciplinary Faculty Positions. The COALESCE faculty searches are conducted in a unique College-wide manner and complement those run by individual Departments in the College of Science. All appointments through the COALESCE program are made in individual departments; joint appointments are made as appropriate, including with departments outside the College. Current faculty searches include some being done jointly with the Colleges of Agriculture, Consumer & Family Sciences, Education, Engineering, Liberal Arts, and Pharmacy.
PURE goes statewide as INDURE!
The Purdue University Research Expertise database (PURE) is now the Indiana Database for University Research Expertise (INDURE)! With this tool, you can search for research expertise, intellectual property, anad ongoing sponsored research projects at academic institutions across the state of Indiana. By entering relevant keywords, or alternatively using a simple navigation mechanism you can find Indian afaculty by specifying fields of study. For example, if you're looking for researchers in bioinformatics, you will find more than seventy Indiana faculty members with expertise in bioinformatics. Visit the database to identify Purdue researchers by keywords or fields of interest.
