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.

The Purdue University Research Expertise database (PURE) is now online! With this tool, you can search for Purdue faculty members and their research activities by entering relevant keywords, or alternatively you can use a simple navigation mechanism to find them by specifying fields of study. For example, if you're looking for researchers in bioinformatics, you will find that Purdue has nearly two dozen faculty members with expertise in bioinformatics. Visit the database to identify Purdue researchers by keywords or fields of interest.

Represented in each of the radiating arms of this geometric logo are biological sciences, chemistry, computer sciences, earth and atmospheric sciences, mathematics, physics, and statistics . The stability of the inner sphere symbolizes the knowledge and objectivity of science, while the implied movement of the outer configuration suggests the exploratory nature of the field.
