Description

The Department of Natural Sciences (DNS) at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore (UMES) invites applications for a 9-month, tenure-track assistant professor specializing in bioorganic chemistry. We seek candidates who will support a diverse student population and prepare students broadly for futures in industry, government, and graduate and professional schools. Teaching responsibilities supporting our ACS-certified chemistry program include organic chemistry and biochemistry and courses in the candidate’s specific areas of expertise. Candidates who will create a strong, collaborative research program that complements and strengthens DNS research activity in the chemistry-biology-environment nexus with expertise in metabolomics and proteomics are particularly encouraged to apply. Strong opportunities exist to collaborate in the pharmaceutical sciences, animal and plant sciences, and marine sciences with a cadre of recently-hired new scientists across UMES. DNS houses the biology, chemistry, biochemistry, and environmental science undergraduate programs and graduate programs in chemistry, marine-estuarine and environmental sciences, and toxicology creating an outstanding collaborative environment. 

Requirements

Required qualifications include a PhD in Chemistry or related field from an accredited institution. Experience teaching and/or mentoring undergraduates, implementing research projects bridging organic and biochemistry, and a record of scholarly activity are preferred.
