The successful candidate will have a Ph. D. in Chemistry with expertise in Biochemistry. The candidate will be expected to teach classes such as Introduction to Chemistry and Biochemistry with lab, as well as other courses as needed. The candidate should have a strong desire to teach at the undergraduate level. In addition, the candidate is encouraged to perform original research involving undergraduate students.

 The position is subject to final budgetary approval.

 Ranked by Niche as the second (#2) most diverse private college in Washington State in 2020. Saint Martin’s is extremely proud of our student diversity. Our department, as well as the overall university, is committed to fostering an inclusive and diverse academic community that treasures persons of all abilities, ages, ethnicities, genders, nationalities, orientations, races, and religions. In particular, we know that students educated in an ethnically diverse setting perform better academically and reap greater professional success than their peers from more homogeneous learning environments. Over a third of Saint Martin’s student body are first-generation college students and nearly two-thirds identify as ethnically diverse. The school also has a large military veteran population. We are committed to pursuing an employee community that reflects a similar, if not the same percentage.

 Therefore, we intentionally encourage and request that members of historically underrepresented groups apply to join this community.  All of us, from all backgrounds, are making a commitment to do and be better for our students, faculty, and staff.

 Established in 1895, Saint Martin’s University serves as the educational mission of Saint Martin’s Abbey. The Abbey is a Catholic Benedictine monastery, whose members pray, work, and live together on the University campus. As the mission is Catholic and Benedictine, one of our values is a spirit of hospitality welcoming all, regardless of an individual’s faith, religion, or spirituality.
