Dr. Karl Jobst hired by Memorial University

Congratulations to Dr. Karl Jobst who has been hired as an assistant professor in the Department of Chemistry at the Memorial University of Newfoundland. He completed his B.Sc. and Ph.D. at McMaster University and previously work at the Ministry of Environment of Ontario. His area of expertise is environmental mass spectrometry. He describes his research as:

"The identities of most environmental toxicants and their role in causing chronic disease are unknown. Our research aims to address this challenge through the development of novel nontargeted mass spectrometry techniques and sophisticated informetric and computational tools. We utilize multidimensional chromatography and high-resolution mass spectrometry to unravel complex environmental and biological media. We complement these experiments with quantum chemical calculations to elucidate structures and reaction mechanisms. Ultimately, we seek to understand how the (un)intentional release of chemicals impacts the environment and human health.."

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.
