Hi All.  We have a tenure-track position in inorganic chemistry that will begin in the fall of 2013.  I would appreciate it if you would circulate this as widely as possible among former students, colleagues around the world, and anyone else you feel might be appropriate for the position.  Needless to say I believe it is a great position - it has kept me interested and engaged for 32 of my 43 years as a faculty member, but I will be retiring, at least officially, at the end of the 2012-13 academic year.

The official ad is as follows:
