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).

ACS Division of Inorganic Chemistry Award for Undergraduate Research

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.

GRINNELL COLLEGE – Chemistry Department (Inorganic Chemistry) - TENURE-TRACK POSITION (START FALL 2017)

Are you and your department-mates interested in integrating two or more courses, adding more specal topics classes, updating your laboratory program or all of the above and more? We are offering a cCWCS workshop on this topic at The College of St. Benedict in Minnesota on October 6, 2016. Please follow the link below for more information.  We hope to see you there!

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
