Beginning in their second year, our new colleague will be expected to become the course coordinator for the general chemistry lab, providing leadership to the other full-time and part-time faculty teaching lab sections.

The successful candidate will contribute to service duties within the department, college, university, and at professional levels; engage in the mentoring and advising of chemistry and biochemistry majors and minors; participate in monthly department meetings, attend our weekly chemistry seminar along with the rest of our faculty members and majors; and collaborate with other faculty across the STEM disciplines.

QUALIFICATIONS:

Candidates should have earned a Ph.D. in  chemistry, biochemistry, or a closely-related, chemistry-intensive field. Additional teaching experience is also highly preferred.

Applicants must demonstrate a commitment to the University’s goal of improving higher education for diverse and underrepresented students.
