A successful candidate will be expected to develop an internationally recognized scholarly research program in their area of specialization, to teach chemistry courses at the undergraduate and graduate level, to mentor graduate and undergraduate students, and to perform professional and university service as appropriate.

A Ph.D. in Chemistry or related field is required.  Candidates for the Assistant Professor title must have demonstrated potential for internationally recognized research in their field of specialization.
