Queen's University: Tenure-track faculty position in radio-analytical chemistry
The Department
of Chemistry at
Queen’s University invites applications for a tenure-track
faculty position at the rank
of
Assistant Professor with specialization in radio-analytical chemistry. The earliest starting date for the position
is July 1, 2017, but later starting dates may also be considered. The successful candidate
will be an excellent scientist who will establish an outstanding research program and will contribute to undergraduate and graduate teaching
and supervision in the Department of Chemistry. The
candidate will be cross-appointed to the Department
of
Physics, Engineering Physics and
Astronomy
at Queen’s
University.
In exceptional cases, candidates above the level of Assistant
Professor
may be considered.
Queen's University is one of Canada's leading research-intensive universities. The Department of
Chemistry at Queen's University
has 25 faculty
members working in all areas of modern chemistry. We are located in historic Kingston on the shores of Lake Ontario.
Kingston’s
residents enjoy
an
outstanding quality
of life with a wide range of cultural, recreational, and creative opportunities.
Queen’s
is
playing a
lead role in the establishment
of the Canadian
Particle Astrophysics Research Centre (CPARC), an ambitious new program funded by the Canada-First Research Excellence Fund (CFREF).
A major goal of CPARC includes building a national research team contributing
to the many diverse requirements of a world-leading
particle astrophysics research program. This includes the
development of
particle astrophysics experiments and theory, observational and theoretical astrophysics, detector design, and the
development of
tools and techniques for calibration, material screening and low level radio-purification.
To achieve this, CPARC aims to benefit from and strengthen cross-disciplinary expertise at Queen’s between Physics, Engineering Physics and Astronomy
(particle astrophysics and detector development), Chemistry
(radio-analytical chemistry), Geological Sciences (Facility for Isotopic Research) and Mechanical and Materials Engineering (Reactor Materials Testing Laboratory). The University
anticipates hiring seven faculty
members associated with CPARC in addition to a Tier 1 Canada Research Chair (CRC)
particle astrophysics theorist, to complement its current team of research scientists, engineers, technicians, postdoctoral fellows and graduate students, all in support of the
research centre. An additional seven faculty hires are being strategically targeted at collaborating
institutions across Canada to significantly enhance this world-renowned particle astrophysics program. For further information and the complete
set
of goals for CPARC, please see below or visit www.cparc.ca.
The successful candidate for this position will develop a research program that is,
on one hand, well-aligned with the research
goals
of
CPARC, but which
also complements the
existing research activities of the Department of Chemistry, especially in the areas of analytical chemistry
(ultra-trace
detection), coordination chemistry, and inorganic chemistry. In particular, the
applicant is expected to lead R&D
activities in low background radio-emission counting, radio- assay,
and
radio-purification
techniques to contribute to CPARC’s
continuing and future research
in neutrino physics and the
search for dark matter. In addition,
the successful candidate
is expected to initiate an independent research program. In either case, it will be necessary to collaborate
with other researchers and to establish scientific
partnerships through links to
universities, industries, and
international programs.
Aside
from teaching
undergraduate and graduate-level courses in chemistry, the successful candidate
will also mentor
graduate
and
undergraduate students, and supervise
technical staff
in radiochemical analysis methods and laboratory techniques
in a research intensive environment.
It is expected that the
successful candidate will have a
Ph.D. degree in either radiochemistry, nuclear chemistry, analytical chemistry, coordination chemistry, or inorganic
chemistry, or has equivalent experience resulting
in a
sound knowledge of radio-analytical chemistry
and
related fields, as demonstrated through a strong record of scientific and/or technical publications. Post
Ph.D. experience
in low background counting, low
level radio-assay, and radio-purification techniques is considered a strong asset. A proven ability to participate in scientific collaborations with good project
management
skills and some supervisory experience is
required.
The University invites applications
from all qualified individuals. Queen's is committed to employment equity and diversity in the workplace and welcomes applications from women, visible minorities, Aboriginal peoples, persons with disabilities, and LGBTQ persons. All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however, in
accordance with Canadian immigration requirements, Canadian citizens and permanent residents of Canada will be given
priority.
To comply with federal laws, the University is obliged to gather statistical information about how
many applicants
for each
job vacancy are Canadian
citizens
/ permanent
residents of Canada. Applicants need not identify their country of origin or citizenship; however, all applications must include one of the following statements: “I
am
a Canadian citizen / permanent
resident of Canada”; OR, “I am not a Canadian citizen / permanent resident of Canada”. Applications
that do not include this
information will be deemed incomplete.
A complete application consists of: a cover letter (including
one of the two statements regarding Canadian citizenship / permanent resident status specified in the previous paragraph), a current
Curriculum Vitae (including a list of publications), a statement of research interests, a statement
of teaching interests and experience (including teaching outlines and evaluations
if available), and three letters of reference to be sent directly to Hans-Peter Loock, Interim Head, Department
of Chemistry, at
cparc_careers@cparc.ca.
Please indicate clearly the position for which you are applying by quoting
the following position
number on your cover
letter: (00503694). Electronic applications (in PDF format) can be emailed
to Hans-Peter Loock, Interim Head, at
cparc_careers@cparc.ca.
The first review of applications will begin on March 1, 2017 and will continue
thereafter until a successful
candidate is
found.
The University will provide support in its recruitment processes to applicants with disabilities, including
accommodation that
takes
into
account
an applicant’s accessibility needs. If
you require accommodation during
the interview process, please contact Julie McDonald at cparc_careers@cparc.ca.
