Adjunct Faculty - Chemistry

Teaching Responsibilities

We are seeking adjunct faculty to teach the following lectures and/or lab courses.

CHM-1200 Principles of Chemistry This one-term course for non-majors covers the basics of general, inorganic, and organic chemistry as they relate to health sciences. Topics covered include atomic structure, chemical bonding, radioactivity, behavior of gases and solutions, acid and bases, hydrocarbons, functional groups, and important biological molecules.

CHM-1200Z Principles of Chemistry Lab Laboratory activities provide integration of experimental techniques and applications of concepts learned in CHM-1200.

CHM-1310 General Chemistry I Fundamental principles of chemistry are covered in this course. Topics include atoms and molecules, nomenclature, stoichiometry, atomic structure and the periodic table, chemical bonding and geometry, and an introduction to equilibrium.

CHM-1310Z General Chemistry I Lab This course introduces students to basic principles of experimental general chemistry: aqueous reaction chemistry, mass composition, solid state chemistry, ionic and covalent compounds and their reactions, stoichiometric reactions, and molecular structure. Compounds will be analyzed and characterized.

CHM-1320Z General Chemistry Lab II The course introduces students to fundamental concepts, such as acid-base chemistry (pH and titrations), thermodynamics, electrochemistry, and crystallography. Includes characterization of compounds.

CHM-2410Z Organic Chemistry I Lab Laboratory activities will provide integration of experimental techniques, such as extraction, chromatography, isolation of natural compounds, and applications of concepts learned in CHM-2410.

CHM-3555Z Biochemistry Lab This course introduces students to foundational biochemistry laboratory techniques for analysis of biomolecules. Skills students will learn include making buffers, biomolecule purification and quantification, enzyme kinetics studies, chromatography, and electrophoresis.

CHM-3570 Inorganic Chem of Materials This course addresses the basic principles of inorganic chemistry. Topics include descriptive inorganic chemistry, structure and bonding, transition metal coordination chemistry, reaction mechanisms, solid state chemistry, electron transfer processes and aqueous reaction chemistry.

A master’s or PhD degree in chemistry or related field is required. Industry experience and college-level teaching experience are preferred.

The anticipated pay rate for this position is $1,100 per credit hour. This compensation is subject to change at the sole discretion of the university, based on institutional needs.
