Friends of VIPEr,
If you are a fan of dystopian novels and Socratic seminars, please check out One Book, Many Conversations (manyconversations.org). The week of Oct 9-15, this organization will be hosting a series of moderated forums around the country on the classic book 1984 by George Orwell. This is a great chance to engage with colleagues, friends, and fellow citizens over a thought-provoking text that remains relevant to our present day.
The Department of Chemistry at Smith College invites applications for a tenure-track, full-time position at the rank of Assistant or Associate Professor of Chemistry, to begin July 2018. The successful candidate will regularly teach advanced inorganic chemistry as well as general chemistry and may also teach electives and other courses aligning with their area of expertise. Candidates with proficiency in any subfield of inorganic chemistry are encouraged to apply. Additional relevant experience may include postdoctoral research or college-level teaching. A Ph.D.
The Amherst College Department of Chemistry (https://www.amherst.edu/academiclife/departments/chemistry) invites applications for a full-time tenure-track appointment in inorganic chemistry at the rank of assistant professor beginning in July 2018.
Amherst College is one of the most diverse liberal arts colleges in the country. Forty-five percent of our students identify as domestic students of
Hello,
Has anyone been through a renovation or new building process? Can you share lessons learned about how to (and how to not) go about this? What was your planning process? How did you stage the actual construction? Recommendations for where to start investigating lab configuration options?
This link is for an article on the group 3 question that has been debated for sometime.

I would welcome feedback and suggestions as the working group will soon be making recommendations to IUPAC on this issue.
A colleague and I from USNA are organizing a symposium at the Fall ACS meeting in Washington DC focused on Assessment Instruments for the ACS-accredited degree program. Our goal is to share ideas for assessment of student learning outcomes in the chemistry major.
We have no needs for inorganic teaching at Roosevelt as long as I am there (no chance of more than one inorganic chemist), but we do have openings for adjuncts in all other areas: General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Analytical (Quantitative Analysis), and Physical Chemistry (Thermodynamics).
General and Organic are available for Summer 2017 (5 week sessions equivalent to a semester) and these as well as Analytical and Physical (see above) are available for Fall 2017 semester (28 August - 16 December).
Our class schedule is available at:
Hi
I will be on a year-long research study leave starting July 2017 and part of my proposal is to take our existing Inorganic I and II laboratory program and make it inquiry driven and/or problem-based. I'm hoping to be able to combine a family vacation with work by visiting and perhaps participating in some undergraduate teaching laboratories. I hail from the frigid Canadian praries so somewhere warm in Janurary would be perfect (my husband is hoping for Australia).
The Department of Chemistry at Illinois State University is seeking applications for a tenure-track faculty position in Inorganic Chemistry at the rank of Assistant Professor to begin August 16, 2017. The successful candidate will be expected to build on the highly-regarded chemistry program through teaching, research, outreach, and curricular development activities.
