The Inclusive STEM Teaching Project, a NSF Improving Undergraduate STEM Education program, is hosting the free six-week Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) from October 3 – November 22, 2022 via edX. 

The Inclusive STEM Teaching Project community has now grown to over 6,000 faculty, postdocs, graduate students, and staff, and we hope to see that growth continue. 

By participating in this course, participants will learn how to:

  • Advance awareness, self-efficacy, and ability to cultivate inclusive classroom environments;
  • Support development as a reflective, inclusive practitioner;
  • Engage in reflection and discussion around topics of equity and inclusion across a variety of institutional contexts;
  • Implement inclusive teaching methods in classes which will remove common barriers and enhance learning in STEM for all students.

Here is the registration link for our fall session, as well as our course flyer and 1-pager.

The Carleton College Chemistry Department is conducting a search for a tenure-track position. The search is open to all fields of chemistry.

The job ad is here. We are looking for someone who is passionate about both teaching and research with undergraduate students. We welcome applicants who have postdoctoral experience as well as those who haven’t yet acquired it.

Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks so much for taking the time to forward this information around.

I am a Professor in the Department of Horticulture (College of Agricultural Sciences) here at OSU. My research focuses on honey bee health. We are in the process of designing a research study to understand the properties (crystallization etc.) and fate of oxalic acid dehydrate when it is vaporized inside honey bee hives for controlling a parasite called Varroa mite. I am looking for a faculty in your department that we could collaborate with on this study. Could you please let me know if you or any other faculty would be able to assist us. I will be happy to provide you more details about this study either over the phone or in person.

Appreciate your help.

Best,

Ramesh

Physical/Organic Chemistry

The Department of Chemistry at Oregon State University (OSU) seeks to fill a Tenure-Track faculty position starting in Fall 2023 at the rank of Assistant Professor. We are seeking candidates who are interested in developing innovative interdisciplinary research programs (bridging two or more disciplines in chemistry) with emphasis on overcoming challenges related to human health, renewable energy, and the environment. Preference will be given to candidates who can take advantage of existing university-wide facilities including the NMR facility, Mass Spectrometry center, X-ray Crystallography center, Electron Microscopy facility, and the Continuous Flow Reactor facility. The proposed research program should demonstrate proficiency or significant potential to garner national and international recognition with sustainable external grants.

The successful candidate is expected to teach in Physical Chemistry and/or Organic Chemistry, broadly defined. The candidate is also expected to fulfill working, teaching, and mentoring responsibilities in ways that provide equitable and inclusive environments for all students, faculty, and staff at OSU. Minimum qualifications include a Ph.D. in Chemistry or a related scientific field.  

To review the full posting and apply, go to: https://jobs.oregonstate.edu/postings/122213. For full consideration, applications should be received by October 1, 2022; however, the position will remain open until filled.

OSU commits to inclusive excellence by advancing equity and diversity in all that we do. We are an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity employer, and particularly encourage applications from members of historically underrepresented racial/ethnic groups, women, individuals with disabilities, veterans, LGBTQ community members, and others who demonstrate the ability to help us achieve our vision of a diverse and inclusive community.
