This message is sent on behalf of Professor Glenn Millhauser:
The Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry at UC Santa Cruz has just opened a search for an Assistant Teaching Professor. With the UC title "Lecturer with Potential for Security of Employment (LPSOE)," this is a tenure track teaching position.
There are several organizations that feature women in STEM to show the different faces and work that STEM encompasses. I would love to see more ChemEd folks there!
Dear Colleagues,
The following is sent on behalf of the National Younger Chemists Committee of the American Chemical Society (ACS-YCC) to postdoctoral scholars:
The National Younger Chemists Committee of the American Chemical Society is looking for a postdoctoral scholar to actively participate on the Graduate Education Advisory Board (Volunteer Position)
Who Should Attend
Anyone who is interested in teaching chemistry using real-life applications. Even if you don't use Chemistry in Context, some of these sessions and networking opportunities may enhance your chemistry teaching.
About the Series
The Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) has a book series
The RSC is a learned society and professional body (based in the UK and Eire) for those working in the chemical sciences, and is regitered as a charity (i.e., non-profit). RSC Publishing is a major international scientific publisher.

The Biennial Conference on Chemical Education (BCCE 2020) was cancelled this July; however, there is interest in an ACS eBook about Effective Practices in Teaching Chemistry Online. We would like others to consider contributing a short chapter for the eBook. First drafts are not due until February 15 and chapters are written as a short paper (topics could include a model for assessing engagement in online chemistry, a model for engaging students, what worked/didn't work, tools used in teaching chemistry online, online labs, and much more).
My UW colleague Matt Bush suggested the podcast episode below about
teaching with Zoom. Thought I'd pass it on!

I wanted to share an awesome podcast episode focused on active/interactive
pedagogies in Zoom. So many great/actionable ideas!
Copied text and link from an email the ACS Bridge Project sent me in case anyone is interested! See below!

There's still time to submit your proposal to join the ACS Bridge Progam as an ACS Bridge Site. Don't miss out on the chance to help empower the next generation of underrepresented minority (URM) chemists.
The DEADLINE to apply is Tuesday, September 1!
Dear Colleagues,
My UW colleague Samantha Robinson discovered a cool feature that's
available in Powerpoint 365 and 2019: rotatable 3D structures of
molecules can be inserted into the slides and animated. Per Samantha:
