Mount Royal University: Inorganic Chemistry

MRU Main Campus - Calgary, AB T3E 6K6 CA (Primary)

About MRU

Founded in 1910 and located in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, Mount Royal University grew into a vibrant college in the 1930s and became a mid-sized university in 2009. Mount Royal has carved out a distinct niche by offering smaller class sizes, a robust liberal education and unique undergraduate programs. Currently, more than 14,000 credit students choose from 12 bachelor degrees and 36 majors.

Mount Royal University is located in the traditional territories of the Niitsitapi (Blackfoot) and the people of the Treaty 7 region in southern Alberta, which includes the Siksika, the Piikani, the Kainai, the Tsuut'ina and the Iyarhe Nakoda. We are situated on land where the Bow River meets the Elbow River. The traditional Blackfoot name of this place is "Mohkinstsis," which we now call the city of Calgary. The city of Calgary is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta, Region 3.

Mount Royal University is committed to removing barriers and fostering the inclusion of voices that have been historically underrepresented or discouraged in our society. In support of our belief that diversity in our faculty and staff enriches the work, learning and research experiences for the entire campus community, we strongly encourage members of the designated groups (women, Indigenous Peoples, persons with disabilities, members of visible minorities, and diverse sexual orientation and gender identities) to apply and self-identify.

About the Faculty of Science and Technology

The Department of Chemistry and Physics, Faculty of Science and Technology at Mount Royal University invites applications for a tenure track position which will commence July 1, 2022, subject to final budgetary approval, at the Rank of Assistant Professor. 

The Faculty of Science and Technology currently offers bachelor’s degrees in Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Environmental Science, Geology, and General Science. The Department currently offers a BSc degree program in Chemistry with an optional focus in Analytical Biochemistry.

About the Role

The successful candidate will be a passionate teacher who will make substantial contributions to the teaching of Inorganic Chemistry, as well as its interactions with other chemistry subdisciplines. A Ph.D. in Chemistry or closely related field is required. A strong commitment to the principles of equity, diversity, and inclusion, particularly how they relate to science, would be an asset.

The department is dedicated to providing teaching and laboratory experiences for undergraduate students through course-based instruction, community service learning, independent research experiences and other means. 

Mount Royal’s General Education program is an important part of all Mount Royal bachelor degrees, offering a broad, liberal education that complements discipline-specific training, and the successful candidate would also have the possibility to teach in this program if desired.

The candidate will have a scholarship plan that is meaningful and appropriate in the context of an undergraduate institution where teaching is the primary focus. This program may be discipline-focused and/or in the area of chemistry education research but should involve undergraduate students in a substantive way. The ability to attract external funding, or clear promise thereof, is also desirable.
