Amherst College Looking for Lecturer in Organic Chemistry Full Time

The Amherst College Department of Chemistry (https://www.amherst.edu/academiclife/departments/chemistry) invites applications for a full-time lecturer in organic
chemistry beginning in July 2023. Within the last decade, Amherst College has profoundly diversified its student body in terms of
socioeconomic status, ethnicity, race, and nationality. Today, 57 percent of the students receive financial aid; 45 percent of our students
identify as domestic students of color; and 10 percent of our students are international students. Our expectation is that the successful
candidate will excel at teaching and mentoring this extraordinarily talented group of students who are broadly diverse with regard to race,
ethnicity, socioeconomic status, gender, nationality, sexual identity, and religion.

The position requires a Ph.D. in chemistry and
calls for teaching organic chemistry at the undergraduate level. Opportunities for teaching electives and interdisciplinary courses are also
available. This is a purely instructional position and carries the equivalent of a 3-3 course load, which includes lecturing, the teaching
of laboratory and discussion sections, and holding office hours. Applicants with expertise in any sub-discipline of organic chemistry are
encouraged to apply, as are applicants with all levels of experience. Salary will be commensurate with prior experience.

Applicants
should submit electronically to https://apply.interfolio.com/110422 a cover letter; a curriculum vita; a statement of teaching philosophy,
including philosophy of teaching a diverse student body; and the contact information for three confidential references. Review of
applications will begin December 5, 2022, and will continue until the position is filled. Questions may be directed to David E. Hansen,
Julian H. Gibbs 1946 Professor of Chemistry, [email protected].
