The Department of Chemistry at Washington University in St. Louis invites applications for full-time, tenure-track faculty appointments at the rank of assistant professor or associate professor. We invite applicants in materials chemistry broadly defined. Research topics of interest include, but are in no way limited to: molecules & materials for quantum computation, materials for solar-energy conversion and solar-fuel catalysis, materials for carbon dioxide sequestration, functional or biodegradable polymers for environmental applications, and molecular spectroscopy. Candidates with interdisciplinary research interests are welcomed. 

A Ph.D. in chemistry or a closely related field is required at the time of appointment. Candidates for the rank associate professor should have an outstanding teaching, service, and publication record commensurate with tenure at that rank. The duties of the position include conducting research, publishing in peer-reviewed journals, obtaining extramural research support, teaching courses, advising students, performing assigned committee work, and participating in university service. The development and maintenance of an outstanding research program is expected.
