The Trinity Chemistry Department offers majors in Chemistry and Biochemistry, with two tracks in Biochemistry (Traditional and Neurobiochemistry). The department also possesses excellent modern research instruments available for use by students and faculty. A description of these instruments can be found at https://commons.trincoll.edu/chemistry/instruments/

To apply, please submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, undergraduate and graduate transcripts, a statement on your teaching philosophy, and contact information for a minimum of three reference letter writers. The teaching statement must include a description of how your teaching will engage the diverse student body at Trinity College. Questions about the position can be directed to the Chair of the Chemistry Department, Professor Timothy Curran ( timothy.curran@trincoll.edu ).
