“Effective Course Design: Intentional Blending of Synchronous and Asynchronous Learning.” Regardless of course modality, all Corvallis and Cascades campus courses involve learning in person during synchronous class meetings and asynchronously outside of class.

In this interactive session, learn ways to do this through intentional design. Feb. 7, 11-11:50 a.m. Registration.

I am writing to let you know about a position we have recently posted for a one-year, Visiting Assistant Professor position at Carleton College for 2023–2024. We believe this position can be excellent preparation for chemists who are interested in a career focused on teaching and research in an undergraduate environment, and Carleton provides a variety of mentoring and professional development resources for all faculty, including those in visiting positions. 

Given your position as department chair, I am hoping you might know current/recent grad students and postdocs who could be a good fit for this position. If so, would you mind forwarding this email to them and/or to colleagues who may be able to spread the word?

Please feel free to email me or put students/postdocs in touch with me if they have any questions, and thanks for your consideration!

Best,

Matt Whited
