The teaching component will include a mentored experience in general chemistry and additional courses appropriate for the specialty of the applicant. Research will be conducted in association with a faculty member of the department, will include supervision of undergraduate research students, and mentoring in grant proposal writing. Annual compensation is $42,000 plus benefits. Please see www.colgate.edu/academics/departments/chemistry.html for information on current research within the department. The department has excellent teaching and research facilities and offers strong BA programs in Chemistry and Biochemistry.

Application materials include a curriculum vitae, a description of teaching and research objectives (including preferences for a research mentor), and two letters of recommendation which must be submitted through academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/1386. Review of applications will begin March 1, 2012 and continue until the position is filled.
