Dear Chemical Education Researchers,
I'm sending this out as a reminder that The Department of Chemistry at the University of Utah is seeking to hire a tenure-track faculty member to lead the department's undergraduate education efforts and to build a strong and well-funded program in chemical education research. The applications portal at the link below will remain open until October 31. Candidates at the rank of associate or full professor are preferred, including those who wish to be considered for an endowed-chair position. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to contribute to the general chemistry program and the development of an integrated science education program as part of the newly-completed Crocker Science Center. The faculty member will teach in the Chemistry Department, with teaching responsibilities commensurate with research-active faculty members. We seek a long-term colleague who will be fully integrated into our Department and also affiliated with the Center for Science and Mathematics Education (CSME).
This search is in conjunction with other searches in the College of Science, with the goal of building the University of Utah into a center for world-class scholarship in math and science education. It is being conducted through the Center for Science and Mathematics Education, which seeks to hire up to 3 discipline-based education researchers (DBER) in the College of Science this year. The goals of the College-wide program, which works in collaboration with the College of Education, are outlined at the webpage:
https://csme.utah.edu/2018-search/ .
A description of the Department of Chemistry, our current education initiatives, our goals and priorities in education, and our key education personnel are provided at the webpage: https://csme.utah.edu/2018-search/chemistry/

Anyone seeking more information about our open position should feel free to email or telephone me - I'll be happy to discuss the position in greater detail.
Sincerely yours,
Michael D. Morse
