Assistant/Associate Professor (Lecturer) for Chemistry

Details

The Department of Chemistry at the University of Utah invites
applications for a career-line (non-tenure-track) faculty member at
the rank of Assistant or Associate Professor (Lecturer). We seek a
model educator to help us provide a world-class education for every
undergraduate student. The successful applicant will have:

1) a PhD or equivalent in Chemistry, Chemistry education or a
related field;

2) a commitment to equity in Chemistry education and record of
utilizing inclusive, evidence-based instructional practices;

3) experience collaborating with faculty, staff, and students to
reform aspects of the undergraduate Chemistry curriculum; and

4) excellent communication, organization, and leadership skills. We
are seeking a long-term colleague who will be fully integrated into
our department.

The responsibilities of the successful candidate will be to:

• Teach several departmental courses per year. The expectation is

that the core teaching will include organic chemistry and general
chemistry (both lab and lecture) but may also include other courses
as appropriate.

• Work with other faculty to develop, implement, and assess the

effectiveness of curriculum reforms.

• Serve as a model and consultant for other faculty who want to

utilize inclusive, evidence-based instructional practices in their
courses.

• Work with Chemistry staff and faculty affiliates to help execute

college-wide educational programs. While the successful candidate
will not be expected to seek external funding or publish
peer-reviewed papers, collaborative opportunities for such
activities may be possible, provided they are synergistic with the
above responsibilities.

This is an exciting time in the Department of Chemistry. The
University is experiencing large enrollment increases, resulting in
a more diverse student body from a broader range of academic,
geographic, socioeconomic, ethnic, and life-experience backgrounds.
We seek a colleague committed to inclusive excellence who will make
a lasting impact on our department and institution. The Department
is committed to continuing to build a robust and varied
intellectual community, and encourages applicants of all races,
ethnicities, genders, backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives to
apply.

Preference will be given to candidates with demonstrated successful
teaching experience at this level as evidenced by experience,
course evaluations and reference letters.

Priority consideration will be given to applications received by
November 15, 2026. Materials should be uploaded in PDF
format.
