The Department of Chemistry at the University of Nevada, Reno has initiated a search for a new tenure-track Assistant Professor in the area of Analytical Chemistry. I am writing to seek your help in identifying outstanding candidates for this position. The successful candidate will establish an active and innovative experimental research program in analytical chemistry, broadly defined, while maintaining a strong commitment to undergraduate and graduate education.

Please bring this opening to the attention of qualified candidates who may be interested in applying for the position. I have attached a position announcement which may be posted or forwarded. The complete position description including minimum qualifications and application instructions/links may be found at www.unrsearch.com/postings/25900.

Applications must be submitted online at www.unrsearch.com/postings/25900. Application review will begin October 27, 2017. The University of Nevada, Reno is an Equal Employment Opportunity/Affirmative Action employer. Women and under-represented groups are encouraged to apply.

The University of Nevada, Reno is the land-grant institution for the State of Nevada with an enrollment of 22,000 students. Our department offers B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in chemistry. The department has a total of 21 full-time academic faculty members, is housed in a four-story building, and is well equipped with modern research instrumentation. We have recently moved our undergraduate teaching laboratories into new instructional facilities in the Davidson Mathematics and Science Center.

Nestled in the valley of the Truckee River on the eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada, Reno offers an excellent quality of life. The region combines a mild high desert climate with a large variety of nearby recreational opportunities. Lake Tahoe is less than an hour away by car, while Yosemite National Park and the Black Rock Desert are both within a three-hour drive. Featuring a multi-seasonal tourist industry, Reno and the surrounding area also offers entertainment and cultural opportunities far exceeding those typically found in a city of 500,000.

The University of Alberta is looking to fill an opening in Analytical Chemistry. The Department of Chemistry at the University of Alberta has 33 faculty, over 220 graduate students (~2/3 PhD and 1/3 research MSc), and a large undergraduate program. The department has strong research facilities, as well as on-campus research institutes such as the National Institute for Nanotechnology and the Alberta Glycomics Centre, and a long history of excellence in analytical chemistry.  We have also made two recent hires in environmental chemistry, and are looking to make another soon.

Our current search in Analytical Chemistry does not have a targeted technique or field in mind. Rather we are looking for the best candidate. (But personally, I would be delighted if the position was filled by a separation scientist, as I have a lab full of HPLC and CE equipment that I could give them.)  The deadline for application is October 21, 2017 and we will be scheduling interviews in November to January. The position is targeted to an Assistant or Associate Professor, but with the right candidate a young Full Professor would be possible. The start date is July 1, 2018, but is negotiable.

Please share this position with your postdocs or past grad students that you feel would be a good match.

For those that you pass this one to, the University of Alberta is located in the center of the city of Edmonton. The metropolitan area has 1.3 million people, with a vibrant young and multicultural community. The city hosts over 100 festivals each year, and spectacular nature is just a few hours drive away in national parks such as Jasper and Banff. Housing in Edmonton is readily available and affordable, and the school system is excellent.
