The teaching load will be two undergraduate General Chemistry for the Health Sciences lecture sections and two undergraduate General Chemistry for the Health Sciences laboratory sections each semester.  The lecture and laboratory materials for these courses are coordinated to complement each other.  The candidate will have the option to make a contribution to university service opportunities.

Applicants are expected to have completed a M.S. or Ph.D. in Chemistry or Biochemistry or an allied field, or should expect to receive their degree by summer 2023. Applicants must have a strong commitment to excellence in undergraduate lecture and laboratory teaching, and should have undergraduate lecture and laboratory teaching experience, preferably in General Chemistry for the Health Sciences or in a similar course. Candidates should have good communication skills and experience using classroom/laboratory technology. Additionally, a commitment to pedagogical innovation and demonstrated excellence in using technology in the classroom and laboratory is required.
