The Department of Chemistry (​http://cse.umn.edu/chem​) at the University of Minnesota invites applications for two full-time contract term non-tenure track Assistant Professor positions beginning summer or fall term of 2022 (May 15, 2022 or later). While we are primarily interested in applicants at the assistant professor level, more senior hires will be considered. We seek outstanding applicants with a Ph.D. in chemistry or a related field. Successful applicants will have a strong commitment to undergraduate chemistry education and to developing innovative, high-quality curricular materials and instructional initiatives. These two positions will be split nominally into either the general chemistry or organic chemistry areas, with potential for overlap. The successful candidates will focus on teaching and developing instructional activities in large enrollment lecture courses, and may be able to teach upper division courses in their area of expertise, as available. Interest in initiating and coordinating student academic success programs to support the department’s equity and diversity goals and/or incorporation of green and sustainable chemistry are encouraged. A typical appointment would include 6 course equivalents per 12-month calendar year. The appointee will also have responsibilities for department and university service.   Successful candidates will be provided clear guidelines toward promotion, annual reviews, a mentoring committee, capacity for professional development, eligibility for teaching awards, and opportunities to mentor M.S. students. Appointees must have completed all requirements for the Ph.D. or equivalent foreign degree by the date of appointment with a preferred start date for summer 2022 or fall 2022 teaching periods. Evaluation of applications will begin January 22, 2022 and will continue until the positions are filled. Candidates should apply online via Interfolio at the following link: https://z.umn.edu/chemteachingfaculty and include 1) a cover letter, 2) a curriculum vita, 3) three letters of recommendation to be submitted via Interfolio, and 4) a 4-5 page statement that includes the candidate’s past experience and teaching philosophy with examples of innovation in the classroom, a description of the candidate’s ideas for instructional initiatives they would propose to implement, emphasizing potential to engage students in large lecture courses, and a description of how the candidate would promote diversity and inclusion in their position as a faculty member.
