Trent University invites applications for a tenure track position in the field of experimental inorganic chemistry, in the Department of Chemistry. The appointment will be at the rank of Assistant Professor and will commence July 1, 2025. This position will be located at the Trent Peterborough campus and is subject to budgetary approval.
A Ph.D. degree in chemistry, or a directly related discipline is required. We expect the successful candidate to develop a robust, externally funded research program in inorganic chemistry. Potential for research success will be evaluated based on a strong publication record, relevant post-doctoral experience, fit with existing faculty and infrastructure, and a submitted research proposal. The potential for high-caliber teaching and mentorship in inorganic chemistry at the undergraduate level is an asset. As well, the successful candidate will actively recruit and supervise graduate students in Trent’s Materials Science graduate program and contribute to service at the departmental and university level as required.
While applications are welcome in any area of experimental inorganic chemistry, candidates with research interests in inorganic materials, heterogeneous/homogeneous catalysis, main group chemistry, surface or solid-state materials chemistry are especially encouraged to apply. The Department has vibrant research programs in materials science, catalysis, organic chemistry, analytical chemistry, environmental chemistry, and biochemistry. The successful candidate would have access to modern spectroscopic facilities including the department’s newly acquired 400 MHz NMR spectrometer and equipment in the Water Quality Center.
The successful candidate will be expected to teach courses primarily at the undergraduate level but also potentially at the graduate level in inorganic chemistry and related fields.
Candidate's applications should include the following:
- A cover letter and curriculum vitae.
- A concise five-page research proposal structured as an NSERC Discovery Grant Application.
- A three-page statement of teaching philosophy and experience.
- The names, email addresses, and telephone numbers of three referees willing to write on the candidate’s behalf.
- Applicants may also submit a self-identification form as part of their application package.
Please send applications as a single PDF to chemistry@trentu.ca, attention Professor Steven Rafferty, Chair, Chemistry Department. The deadline for the receipt of applications is October 25, 2024.
