Description

St. Lawrence University is searching for an individual with a Ph.D. in chemistry (strong ABD candidates will also be considered) for a full time, tenure-track position to begin August 2022. The successful candidate will be expected to teach general chemistry and organic chemistry, as well as advanced courses in their area of expertise. While all qualified candidates are encouraged to apply, areas of expertise that complement existing faculty specialties, and with a significant organic component, are preferred.

The department teaches several small sections of general chemistry as part of a collaborative team, with an activity-rich, student-centered curriculum. We welcome applications from candidates who bring diverse cultural, ethnic, and national perspectives to their teaching, scholarship and/or service.

St. Lawrence University expects, and is supportive of, faculty-mentored undergraduate research as a critical element of a liberal-arts science education. The candidate will be expected to establish a productive research program to which undergraduates actively contribute. All chemistry majors participate in a senior research project. The department houses an impressive array of instrumental, and computational resources for the support of teaching and research. St. Lawrence University has a nationally recognized First-Year Program (http://www.stlawu.edu/fyp/) to which the successful candidate could also contribute. Details and additional information are available at our web site (http://www.stlawu.edu/academics/programs/chemistry)
