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 2024. 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

JOB DESCRIPTION
https://willamette.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/willametteuniversityjobs/details/Visiting-Assistant-Professor—Chemistry_R0005141
Teach one section of General Chemistry lecture and two sections of General Chemistry lab (the equivalent of two courses per semester).
Salary: $9,320 – $10,350 depending on terminal degree completion.
MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS

• A terminal degree in Chemistry (e.g. PhD) is preferred. ABD with teaching experience will be considered.
• Must be able to reside in or primarily work in Oregon by the first day of employment.
• This is an in-person teaching position.
  Willamette is a small, highly selective private university of 2,600 students, 1,300 of them enrolled in our undergraduate College of Arts and Sciences; other schools include the Atkinson Graduate School of Management, the College of Law, and the Pacific Northwest College of Art, which enrolls both undergraduate and graduate students. We are located in Salem, Oregon, the state capital, which lies 45 miles south of Portland. The successful candidate will be joining an ACS-approved Chemistry Department (https://willamette.edu/undergraduate/chem/index.html) whose seven faculty members are committed to high quality, collaborative teaching, and scholarship.
  Willamette University believes that a diverse, inclusive community is essential to achieving academic excellence; accordingly, we seek candidates who not only have the potential to become outstanding teachers and scholars, but whose work also furthers equity and inclusion, and who will bring to campus varied experiences, perspectives, and backgrounds. The College of Arts and Science is proud to enroll a substantial number of low-income, first-generation, and underrepresented students of color. Over the past two years, 24% of our students were first-generation; 24% were Pell-eligible; and 33% identified as African American, Hispanic/LatinX, Native American/Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander, or multiracial.
  Review of applications will begin immediately, and will continue until the position is filled.
  All University positions require that candidates submit to a criminal conviction record check prior to hire. Conviction does not automatically preclude candidates from being hired. Nature of conviction will be considered relative to the duties of the position.
