Tenure Track Position - Penn State

The Department of Chemistry at The Pennsylvania State University seeks outstanding applicants for tenure-track faculty positions in all areas of chemistry, broadly defined. Both junior and senior candidates are encouraged to apply. While the research focus of the search is broad, candidates whose scientific interests complement those of existing faculty are preferred. Areas of particular interest include analytical, environmental, inorganic, organic, physical, polymer, and theoretical/computational chemistry, as well as interdisciplinary research in the materials and life sciences, but exceptional candidates across all areas of chemistry will be considered. Successful applicants should have a Ph.D., an outstanding record of research accomplishments, an innovative future research plan, and be capable of achieving teaching excellence at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. The Department of Chemistry at Penn State offers a stimulating environment that supports cutting-edge interdisciplinary research, including a 177,000 square foot chemistry research building on the University Park campus, excellent shared instrumentation facilities, and close interactions with the Huck Institutes of the Life Sciences, the Materials Research Institute, and the Institutes of Energy and the Environment. Penn State requires all applicants to register and complete an application form electronically.
