Description: The Chemistry Department at Saint Mary's College of California seeks applicants for a full-time, tenure-track position in chemistry, to begin in fall 2022.

Responsibilities

Teaching: Primary teaching duties will be in general chemistry lecture and lab; secondary teaching duties may include advanced upper-division courses in analytical, environmental, inorganic, or (bio)physical chemistry, based on the candidate's expertise. Participation in the College's core curriculum by teaching in the January Term and/or the Collegiate Seminar Program is also expected.

Background

Saint Mary's College of California is a private, Catholic, comprehensive and co-educational university that engages students in rigorous critical thinking, promotes social justice, and educates for human fulfillment consistent with its liberal arts, Catholic and Lasallian traditions. The de La Salle Christian Brothers, the largest teaching order of the Roman Catholic Church, guide the spiritual and academic character of the College. An outstanding, committed faculty and staff who value shared inquiry, integrative learning and student interaction bring Saint Mary's heritage to life. Located on a stunning 420-acre campus in the Moraga Hills outside of San Francisco, Saint Mary's is known for its rigorous liberal arts education and its high quality graduate programs, including business, education, counseling, leadership, and the arts. Saint Mary's has a diverse student body of approximately 4,000 students, and the College's practices and policies reflect a commitment to inclusive excellence and a community in which all are valued, respected and supported.

Qualifications:
Candidates must have a Ph.D. in Chemistry, Biochemistry, or a closely related discipline. While prior experience in terms of teaching and/or postdoctoral research is highly beneficial, the search committee will consider any evidence that demonstrates a candidate’s potential for excellence in teaching and research in a liberal arts environment.

The College has been designated a Minority and Hispanic-Serving Institution; many Saint Mary’s students are first-generation-to-college. Successful candidates must be able to engage and support students from diverse backgrounds. Furthermore, the College is committed to increasing faculty diversity to reflect that of the student population; therefore, we especially invite applications from candidates of color, women, and other underrepresented groups.
