The Department of Chemistry at Oregon State University (OSU) seeks to fill two Tenure-Track faculty positions starting in Fall 2023 at the rank of Assistant Professor. We are seeking candidates who are interested in developing innovative interdisciplinary research programs (bridging two or more disciplines in chemistry) with emphasis on overcoming challenges related to human health, renewable energy, and the environment. Preference will be given to candidates who can take advantage of existing university-wide facilities including the NMR facility, Mass Spectrometry center, X-ray diffraction and scattering, Electron Microscopy facility, and the Continuous Flow Reactor facility. The proposed research program should demonstrate proficiency or significant potential to garner national and international recognition with sustainable external grants.

The successful candidate is expected to fulfill working, teaching, and mentoring responsibilities in ways that provide equity and inclusivity for all students, faculty, and staff at OSU. Minimum qualifications include a Ph.D. in Chemistry or a related scientific field.

To review each job posting and apply, please submit a curriculum vitae, cover letter, teaching statement, research statement, and diversity statement online and arrange to have three letters of reference submitted online. For full consideration, applications should be received by October 1, 2022; however, the position will remain open until filled.

The College of Science and the Department of Chemistry at OSU are committed to creating equitable and inclusive learning and working environments for their students, faculty, and staff. One of our primary foci is on enhancing recruitment, retention, and success for first-generation, underrepresented racial and ethnic minority, and female students or postdoctoral fellows. In addition, several faculty-led initiatives and committees focus on diversity and inclusivity in the classroom and beyond. To meet these goals, we also value involvement in professional societies committed to the advancement of URMs in STEM (e.g., SACNAS, Society for the Advancement of Chicanos/Hispanics and Native Americans in Science). OSU is an AA/EOE/Vets/Disabled.
