This position is a 12-month appointment to be filled by a person who will teach our 3-credit synthesis II laboratory course in both the Fall and Spring semesters. This laboratory course provides an advanced integrated inorganic and organic chemistry experience. It is currently taken by ~30 students a year and we anticipate steady growth over the next ~4 years as the Institute grows its overall enrollment. In addition to teaching this laboratory course, it is expected that one 3-credit organic or inorganic or first-year lecture course will be taught in each of the Fall, Spring and Summer semesters. The position will also participate in undergraduate advisement.

 

Academic Professionals (APs) at Georgia Tech are non-tenure track academic faculty with a well-defined promotion track. The School’s commitment to undergraduate education is evidenced by our creation of a dedicated and dynamic undergraduate program team, consisting of eight existing APs and a lecturer, who are principally dedicated to the first-year program and upper level undergraduate laboratory courses, as well as this position. This team works in partnership with a broad cross section of the School’s faculty. These APs are expected to demonstrate leadership in undergraduate education within our School. The administration of academic programs, teaching, service, creative pursuits, other contributions to student success, and professional growth and development are expected of our APs. Working with others, there will be opportunities to revise the undergraduate program and innovate the laboratory curriculum. Current APs in the School value independence, teamwork, and unity. The ability to work well with a broad range of faculty, graduate students and undergraduates is important for this position.

 

Responsibilities include: (1) all aspects of laboratory course development from developing new in-person and online experiments to preparing syllabi and grading rubrics, (2) assessment of student learning, (3) training and supervision of teaching assistants (including participation in teaching a TA preparation course), (4) management and maintenance of chemical and laboratory inventories and budgets, (5) implementation and enforcement of laboratory safety policies in conjunction with the Institute's safety guidelines, (6) maintenance of laboratory instrumentation and equipment, (7) development and delivery of lectures in organic and inorganic chemistry, and (8) undergraduate academic advising

 

The School endeavors to provide high-quality educational experiences for students from a variety of majors across the Institute. Georgia Tech’s cohort of entering undergraduate students is among the most-highly qualified at a public institution (1435 average composite SAT for entering students in Fall 2021). The School currently has approximately 150 chemistry and 250 biochemistry majors.
