The department houses modern instrumentation available for research and teaching, including two 400 MHz Bruker Avance NEO NMR spectrometers (one each for solid and liquid samples), Agilent Cary 8454 diode array UV-Vis spectrometer (with advanced kinetic software and recirculating temperature control), Agilent 5977 GC-MS, HPLC, and Autopol Polarimeter. Other new low and high-resolution LC-MS/MS instrumentation is available in the Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry at the Trace Analysis Facility (focused on small organic molecules including pesticides, pharmaceuticals, and other emerging contaminants), and the Proteomics and Genomics Core Facility (large-scale proteomics, genetic and drug screening, protein identification). Information about the Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry is available at: https://www.uregina.ca/science/chem-biochem/ The Faculty of Science also houses the Laboratory for Computational Discovery, the Cellular Impacts Facility (wide-field fluorescence and confocal microscopy), the Electron Microbeam Facility (Tescan Vega 3 and JEOL JSM-6360 SEMs), the Institute for Environmental Change and Society, and the Institute for Microbial Systems and Society, which provide a wide variety of advanced instrumentation as well as opportunities for collaboration. Information about the Faculty of Science is available at: https://www.uregina.ca/science/ Potential candidates are invited to electronically submit the following documents through the University of Regina’s Career Portal at:
