LAFAYETTE COLLEGE DEPARTMENT OF CHEMISTRY – TWO ASSISTANT PROFESSOR POSITIONS.

Two full-time, tenure track assistant professor positions are available in the

 fall of 2013.  For one position, we seek an individual with expertise in 

analytical chemistry to teach courses primarily in quantitative analysis,

 instrumental analysis and general chemistry.  For the second position, we 

encourage applications from candidates in all areas of chemistry, and seek

 an individual who will complement the department’s current faculty, and 

will teach courses in their area of chemical subspecialty and in general

 chemistry.  We encourage applications from candidates with areas of teaching

 and research emphasis that can also contribute to courses and programs that

 focus on areas relevant to the life, earth, environmental or materials 

sciences.  Successful candidates will be expected to develop an active

 research program involving undergraduate students and will contribute to the

 development and teaching of courses in the Lafayette Common Course of Study.

  A Ph.D. degree is required, and postdoctoral and teaching experience is

 preferred.  Additional information about the positions, the Department of

 Chemistry, and an online application page is available at
