Digging Veritas: The Archaeology and History of the Indian College and Student Life at Colonial Harvard
*******************************************************************************************

Title: Digging Veritas: The Archaeology and History of the Indian College and Student Life at Colonial Harvard
Exhibit Dates: November 10, 2008 to January 2010
Location: Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology, Harvard University, 11 Divinity Avenue, Cambridge, Harvard Square
Phone: 617-495-1027

The Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology presents a new exhibition on the archaeology of Harvard Yard entitled Digging Veritas: The Archaeology and History of the Indian College and Student Life at Colonial Harvard.

Through archaeological finds from Harvard Yard, historic maps, and more, the exhibition reveals how students lived at Colonial Harvard, and the role of the Indian College in Harvard’s early years.

Student archaeologists unearthed evidence of colonial Harvard as a landscape shaped by social and religious tensions—tensions that affected everything from Native American and English settler relationships to the everyday routines of student life. As the students searched for meaning in the material remains of Harvard students of the past, three themes emerged: literacy and the Indian College; rule (breaking) and religion; and negotiations of social status. Who knew small fragments buried below ground could reveal so much?

In addition to the managerial/administrative responsibilities outlined above, the Scientific Director is expected to carry out his/her own research program. Resources commensurate with the proposed program will be provided. The NIDCD seeks candidates who have a commitment to scientific excellence and the energy, enthusiasm, and innovative thinking necessary to lead and direct the DIR’s research efforts at the forefront of science.

Title: Tenure Track Position in the Laboratory of Chemical Physics, National Institutes of Health
Deadline: December 1, 2008
Contact: Dr. William A. Eaton
Chief, Laboratory of Chemical Physics
Building 5, Room 116
National Institutes of Health
Bethesda, MD 20892-0520

A tenure track position is available for an experimental biophysical scientist to establish an independent research program in the Laboratory of Chemical Physics, NIDDK, NIH. All areas of biophysics and biophysical chemistry will be considered for this position. Current research in this Laboratory is primarily concerned with experimental, theoretical and computational problems in the structure, dynamics, and function of biological macromolecules, using techniques that include solution and solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, Raman and infrared imaging spectroscopies, time-resolved X-ray crystallography and optical spectroscopy, and single molecule spectroscopy. The theoretical and computational studies closely complement the experimental work. Development of fundamental aspects of experimental and theoretical techniques is an active area in the Laboratory.

The Laboratory is located on the main intramural campus of the NIH in Bethesda, Maryland, just outside Washington, D.C. The Principal Investigators in the Laboratory are: Artur Adib, Philip A. Anfinrud, Adriaan Bax, G. Marius Clore, William A. Eaton, Gerhard Hummer, James Hofrichter, Ira W. Levin, Attila Szabo, and Robert Tycko (Scientists Emeritus: Edwin D. Becker and Robert W. Zwanzig).
