Visiting Assistant Professor of Chemistry

Position Description: Department of Science and Mathematics at Newberry College seeks to fill a Visiting Assistant Professor of Chemistry position in 2016-2017 with the potential for full-time in 2017-2018 (9-month, tenure track) with area of specialty preferred in organic, physical, or analytical chemistry.

Yippee--my department will be searching for a new faculty member this coming year!  It's a biochemistry position, so I'm posting here because I know some VIPErs straddle the line between inorganic and biochemistry and/or you might have a biochemist friend or colleague who is looking for such a position.

Dear Colleagues,

I am writing to let you know that I am organizing a symposium at the Philadelphia ACS meeting on the teaching of undergraduate Inorganic Chemistry.  The symposium is sponsored by the Division of Chemical Education.  The deadline for submitting an abstract is Monday, March 28, 2016.  I hope that you will be able to participate.  The symposium description is given below.

All my best,

John Miecznikowski
Associate Professor of Chemistry
Fairfield University

The CESTA program (Community Engagement in Scienc Through Art) is a new science-art summer program beginning in the summer of 2016 at West Virginia University.

The objective of the CESTA summer program is to train and encourage students from all disciplines to educate and engage the community to discuss science as it pertains to our daily lives and decisions, and to introduce the beauty of science through art and understanding.

If you or others on this VIPEr forum are considering attending BCCE, my colleague, Sarah Shaner, and I are organizing a symposium "Fostering Success in General Chemistry". Please share with your colleagues that may be interested in presenting their experiences with general chemistry.

Dear colleagues,

The deadline for the submission of Symposia and Workshops at the 2016 BCCE (Biennial Conference on Chemical Education) is this Sunday, December 6th. More information can be found at http://www.bcce-submissions.com.

Hope to see you there!
