The Chemistry Department of Boston College invites applications for two tenure-track/open-rank tenured positions in any area of Chemistry or Materials Science.

The Chemistry Department is part of Boston College’s vibrant and growing scientific research community, which includes the Schiller Institute for Integrated Science and Society. This $300 million investment into the sciences includes a new 150,000 square foot science center with state-of-the-art clean room facilities.

Successful candidates will be expected to establish a rigorous, externally funded research program that contributes to or complements the Chemistry Department faculty. Candidates are also expected to excel in teaching chemistry and materials science courses at all levels, enthusiastically mentor undergraduate and graduate students, and engage in all aspects of the Department’s activities.

Applicants must possess a doctorate in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Physics, Materials Science, or a related area. Selected candidates will have a distinguished scientific publication record, leadership experience in past and current research projects, and creative research and teaching plans.

These efforts may include, but are not limited to, the development of effective outreach programs or the design of innovative pedagogical concepts that promote the recruitment and retention of underrepresented groups. Applicants should identify their principal area of research in the cover letter. Candidates at the Assistant Professor level must include the names of three references in the cover letter and arrange to have three letters of reference submitted via the online faculty application system.
