The Chemistry Department at Pacific Lutheran University is searching for a tenure-track Assistant Professor for the 2020-2021 academic year. Pacific Lutheran University, located 40 miles south of Seattle in suburban Tacoma, enrolls approximately 3100 students and purposefully integrates the liberal arts and professional programs.

We seek candidates that will have earned a Ph.D. in chemistry or closely allied discipline by September 1, 2020. They must show promise for innovative teaching and will have teaching responsibilities primarily in instrumental analysis and that potentially include analytical chemistry and other upper and lower-division courses. They will also mentor/advise undergraduate students and serve on academic committees.

Pacific Lutheran University is committed to inclusive excellence, endorses the goals of EO/AA, and encourages applications from women, persons of color, and other groups underrepresented as chemistry faculty members. We seek to hire a professor that has demonstrated the ability, knowledge and skills to successfully teach students from diverse backgrounds in a university setting.

In addition, the successful candidate will have our support to develop a vibrant research program, in which they will seek external funding involving undergraduate research students. Undergraduate research is a cornerstone of our department (http://www.plu.edu/chemistry/), and we offer ACS-certified degrees and a suite of research grade instrumentation, including a 500 MHz FT-NMR, AFM, GC/MS, HPLC, FTIR, Raman, UV/VIS, ICP-MS, GPC, glovebox, potentiostats, and a variety of computational chemistry software. Strong experience with maintaining and operating modern analytical instrumentation is preferred.
