Description

The Department of Chemistry at The College of New Jersey (TCNJ) invites outstanding applicants for a tenure-track Assistant or Associate Professor position in Biochemistry starting August 2010.

Teaching and research are mutually supportive activities at TCNJ. Candidates should be strongly committed to the teacher-scholar model in a primarily undergraduate, residential institution and to maintaining both high quality teaching and an active and productive research program involving highly motivated undergraduates. Faculty members also serve as academic advisors and have service responsibilities within the College. A research laboratory and competitive start-up funds will be provided. The Chemistry Department is housed in a modern science complex (opened Fall 2002) that offers state-of-the-art teaching laboratories, research space, and instrumentation. For a list of our equipment holdings and a description of our ACS-approved program, please visit: www.tcnj.edu/~chem/.

We seek a broadly trained biochemist or biological chemist who has the potential to establish a highly visible undergraduate research program and collaboratively contribute to interdisciplinary curricular and scholarly efforts within the School of Science and at the College. The successful candidate will teach a junior/senior-level, lab-based biochemistry course and develop an upper-level course based on their area of expertise. Additional teaching responsibilities will include rotation through introductory/core chemistry courses. Research in any area of biological chemistry will be considered. Candidates should have a Ph.D. in biochemistry, chemistry, or a closely related field. Although post-doctoral experience is preferred, other backgrounds will be considered; ABDs will be considered only if the degree will be completed prior to start date.

Contact Information

Applicants should send a letter of application, curriculum vitae, a statement of teaching philosophy, a description of research interests and goals, a list of equipment needs, graduate and undergraduate transcripts, representative reprints of published research, and three current letters of recommendation to: Biochemistry Search Committee; Department of Chemistry, The College of New Jersey, P.O. Box 7718, Ewing, NJ 08628. All materials must be received as hard copies in postal mail. Applications will be accepted until the position is filled; those received by October 5, 2009 will be assured full consideration.
