Faculty Position

The Department of Chemistry at Washington University in St. Louis seeks to make one faculty appointment to begin in the fall of 2020.  This is an open search and applicants with expertise in all areas of chemistry are encouraged to apply (for areas of current research, see: https://chemistry.wustl.edu/research). The position is at the tenure-track assistant-professor level, but exceptional candidates at a more senior level will be considered. The expectations for the position includes directing a research program that is internationally recognized for excellence (as reflected by independent publications, external grant support, and invited lectures), providing outstanding educational opportunities for students at all levels (efforts that include both teaching assigned courses and advising), and participating in appropriate university and community service. Candidates must have a Ph.D. or equivalent doctoral degree in the field of chemistry or a closely related field at the time of appointment.

Applicants must apply at apply.interfolio.com/65011.  Applications should consist of a cover letter, curriculum vitae, 2-3 concise research proposals (each ~2-3 pages in length), and a brief teaching statement (~1 page or less).  We also welcome submission of an optional diversity statement that describes values, experiences, and plans relevant to attaining inclusive excellence in research, teaching, and service (~1 page or less).  These documents are to be submitted in electronic form as PDF (portable document format) files.  Applicants should also arrange for three letters of reference to be uploaded to Interfolio.

Completed applications for the position must be received by 01 October 2019 to ensure inclusion in the initial review. However, applications received later will also be considered until the search is concluded.
