Organic Chemistry (Tenure Track) at Concord University

The Department of Physical and Environmental Sciences at Concord University is accepting applications for a tenure‑track Assistant Professor of Chemistry. The position requires the ability to develop and teach the organic chemistry sequence with lab, introductory chemistry labs, and general chemistry. A Ph.D. in chemistry or a closely related field is required, although applicants who are ABD or with different qualifications may be considered for a visiting appointment.

Appointment at higher rank may be possible for well‑qualified candidates.

The Department values and actively supports innovative teaching and participation in undergraduate research and seeks candidates with similar ideals. The chemistry program supports majors in chemistry (including a biochemistry option and a geochemistry option), biology, health sciences, nursing, science education, and environmental geosciences.

The Department maintains a diverse array of instrumentation for teaching and undergraduate research, including GC, GC‑MS, ICP‑OES, fluorimeter, micro‑XRF, XRD, HPLC, SCF extractor, microplate reader, Raman, IR, UV‑Vis, FT‑IR, potentiostat/galvanostat, AFM, polarizing microscopes, thin section/materials prep laboratory, microwave reactor, plasma sputter and vacuum carbon coaters, vacuum spin coater, a benchtop NMR, and an electron microprobe (EPMA) as part of the Concord Materials and Rare Earth Elements Analysis Center.

Department faculty lead or co‑lead numerous externally funded projects and other collaborative initiatives in geosciences, physics, and chemistry.

Concord University is a public, liberal‑arts institution with an enrollment of approximately 1800 students. The University is in a scenic, small‑town setting in the mountains of southern West Virginia with access to year‑round outdoor recreation activities.
