For the first semester of the appointment, the incumbents will be expected to focus on General Chemistry Laboratory, but future assignments may include teaching laboratory or lecture courses in General, Organic, and Physical Chemistry.
There will also be opportunities to contribute to the culture and evolution of the undergraduate program in chemistry, particularly as this relates to the Chemistry Laboratory offerings. These are full-time, non-tenure track positions, with multi-year renewals contingent upon successful reviews. Candidates at the rank of Lecturer in Discipline are expected to have teaching experience, documented evidence of pedagogical excellence, and evidence of professional growth and activity in the given field. Review of applications will begin immediately and will continue until the positions are filled. A PhD is required at the time of appointment.
