Background: Loyola University Chicago (LUC), College of Arts and Sciences, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry seeks qualified candidates for an appointment as Assistant Professor (tenure track), beginning Fall 2023. The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry has 31 full-time faculty serving ~400 majors and is located on the university’s Lakeshore Campus.

Located on Chicago’s vibrantly multicultural North Side, LUC is committed to creating an inclusive, responsive community of faculty, students, and staff. As an urban-based Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry dedicated to mentoring a diverse student body, many of whom come from under-represented and under-served populations, we especially encourage applications from candidates from under-represented groups. We also encourage applications from scholars involved in interdisciplinary research.
Duties and Responsibilities: This position involves maintaining a competitive, externally funded research program and participating in undergraduate- and graduate-level teaching. Candidates will contribute to teaching analytical chemistry and/or other portions of the curriculum (based on the candidate’s preference and expertise). In addition to teaching and pursuing their own scholarship, candidates are expected to involve undergraduate students in research and to engage in service for the department, college, and university.
Minimum Qualifications: Applicants should have a Ph.D. in Chemistry or a closely related field and have completed or currently hold a postdoctoral appointment. Evidence of significant scholarly activity in both the prior doctoral and postdoctoral positions is expected. Candidates in all areas of analytical chemistry are encouraged to apply. Applicants must demonstrate the potential for classroom instructional excellence and a strong ethic of student mentorship or provide evidence of such capacities. The candidate also should be willing to support the mission of LUC and the goals of a Jesuit Catholic Education.
Special Instructions to Applicants: Applicants should submit a current Curriculum Vitae, a teaching statement, and a letter of interest to www.careers.luc.edu. They should also provide evidence that attests to their teaching performance and experience, and the names and addresses of three individuals prepared to advise on their professional qualifications for this position. In addition, they should include separate statements addressing their research and teaching interests; history of interdisciplinary; experience with grantsmanship; and past or potential contributions to mentoring a diverse student body through research, teaching, and other channels and engaging a diverse community through scholarship and service. References will not be contacted immediately but might be consulted at subsequent points in the review process. Please direct inquiries and further inquiries to:
