The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at California State University, Northridge has initiated a search for two full-time, tenure-track Assistant Professor of Chemistry positions commencing August 2025, one in Organic Chemistry (540043) and one in Biochemistry (540021).

The successful Organic Chemistry candidate will have research interests in synthetic methodology, organic materials chemistry, computational organic chemistry, and/or physical organic chemistry. The successful Biochemistry candidate will diversify, and ideally further modernize, the biochemistry research areas currently represented in the Department. Primary teaching responsibilities will include introductory and general chemistry courses at the undergraduate level, and either organic chemistry or biochemistry and special topics courses at the undergraduate and graduate levels.

Applicants must have a Ph.D. in Chemistry or Biochemistry or a closely related field (Molecular or Structural Biology, Biophysics, etc.), postdoctoral or industrial research experience, demonstrated potential for excellence in teaching undergraduate courses, high-caliber research experience in their area of specialization, and a robust plan for independent research activity, feasible for success at CSUN, that includes working with and mentoring undergraduate and MS-level students, publication in top-tier journals, and obtaining extramural funding.  

CSUN is committed to achieving excellence through teaching, scholarship, learning and inclusion. Our values include a respect for all people, building partnerships with the community and the encouragement of innovation, experimentation, and creativity. CSUN strives to cultivate a community in which a diverse population can learn and work in an atmosphere of civility and respect. CSUN is especially interested in candidates who make contributions to equity and inclusion in the pursuit of excellence for all members of the university community. The successful candidate will help the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry achieve equitable outcomes for all students through teaching, student mentorship, scholarship, and service.

We are very interested in having a strong pool of candidates, especially those from underrepresented groups. We ask your help in identifying potential candidates that fit our criteria. Candidates may apply and find more detailed information on the application and hiring process at Organic Chemistry Job Application Link or Biochemistry Job Application link.

Greeting from Minnesota! I am writing to let you know about a position we have recently posted for a tenure-track position in experimental physical chemistry at Carleton College, beginning September 2025. We believe this position is an excellent fit for chemists who are passionate about teaching and research in an undergraduate environment. Carleton has a vibrant and well-supported research program with undergraduate students, and we also provide extensive mentoring and professional development resources to support teaching. We are particularly interested in candidates who can bring a variety of dimensions of diversity to our department, and our search within physical chemistry is defined broadly to include interdisciplinary areas such as materials science, environmental, and biophysical chemistry.

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

I am a professor in CEOAS and looking for an FRA to work as a lab technician on a Keck Foundation funded project  to develop a system to sublimate ice under vacuum using an IR laser or other IR source, to release gases for analysis. The announcement is here: https://jobs.oregonstate.edu/position_descriptions/151643

This person would have to have good mechanical skills and some experience with electronics and possibly optics. It occurred to me that a recent graduate (BS or MS, or possible PhD) from your department might be a good fit. 

Is there a way to announce this position within the chemistry department or to recent graduates? 

Thanks, Ed Brook

The Department of Chemistry at Oregon State University (OSU) invites applications for one tenure-track faculty position in Organic Chemistry, starting September 16, 2025, at the rank of Assistant Professor. Candidates of higher ranks may be considered depending upon their qualifications and the needs of the department. We are seeking candidates who are interested in developing an innovative research program in some aspect of experimental organic chemistry, broadly defined, with expectations of positive impacts in an area of strategic interest to OSU (i.e., climate science and related solutions, clean energy technology and related solutions, robotics, integrated health and biotechnology, see https://leadership.oregonstate.edu/strategic-plan). Modern laboratory space designed for the pursuit of organic chemistry-related research is available to support this position as are world-class analytical facilities (including NMR, MS, XRD) with trained staff.

The proposed research program should possess the possibility of garnering national and international recognition and the likelihood of receiving sustained external grant support. The successful candidate is expected to teach courses in Organic Chemistry at both undergraduate and graduate levels and to make contributions to our laboratory-based Experimental Chemistry courses. Furthermore, the appointee shall fulfill working, teaching, and mentoring responsibilities in ways that provide equity and inclusivity for all students, faculty, and staff at OSU. Minimum qualifications include a Ph.D. in Chemistry or a related scientific field. Required application materials encompass a cover letter (1-2 pages), curriculum vitae, teaching statement (1-2 pages), and a research statement (max 6 pages). How the candidate has embedded the values of equity, inclusion, diversity and belonging into their past work experience, and how these values will be incorporated into their future professional life, should be captured throughout the application materials. For full consideration, applications must be received by October 31, 2024; however, the position will remain open until filled. To review the full posting details and for application instructions, please visit https://jobs.oregonstate.edu/postings/157239.
