The Chemistry Department at Carleton College seeks applicants for two Visiting Assistant Professor positions for the 2022-23 academic year. These are full-time, one-year positions with the possibility of renewal for a second year and support for undergraduate summer research students. We seek chemists who are strongly committed to teaching undergraduates in a liberal arts environment. We believe that these positions are an excellent launchpad for a career at a primarily undergraduate institution with an emphasis on excellence in teaching and research. Each position will primarily involve teaching either Organic or Introductory Chemistry, with the possibility of an upper-level elective course, depending on the candidate’s area(s) of expertise. A completed Ph.D. in chemistry is preferred, but applicants who are within one year of Ph.D. completion will be considered.
