Hello
Our search has been extended because of COVID-19, in case anyone else would like to apply. I’m resending the ad. Is there a way to get this out with the indication that the position is still open? This ad might be of interest especially to recent Ph.D. graduates or Postdocs in Chem Ed research groups.
Thanks,
Dom Casadonte
