Application Instructions

Required materials are: (1) curriculum vitae, including a history of courses taught, (2) statement of teaching philosophy and a forward-looking statement on innovation in chemical pedagogy, (3) three or more letters of reference, at least two of which should address teaching ability.

Optional: we encourage submission of additional materials that speak to teaching experience and ability, particularly copies of teaching evaluations.
