Priority will be given to applicants who demonstrate excellent teaching potential and abilities in lower and upper level undergraduate courses in the areas of inorganic and/or quantum chemistry, and general or organic chemistry. Additionally, applicants whose research interests would complement existing strengths within the department in materials, sustainable products, environmental, and/or green chemistry would be welcome. We especially encourage applications from those interested in developing a research program with an undergraduate emphasis in one or more of these areas.
