EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES
University of Toronto Scarborough Department of Physical and Environmental Sciences Part Time Lecturer Position in Physical Chemistry The Department of Physical and Environmental Sciences, University of Toronto Scarborough, seeks to fill a part time (75%) lecturer position, commencing January 1 2014 and ending December 31, 2014 with the possibility of renewal. Applicants should have teaching experience in physical chemistry and first year chemistry and must be able to teach courses in these areas. In particular, we seek candidates who can develop and teach courses in two of: thermodynamics and kinetics; quantum mechanics and spectroscopy; statistical mechanics. The ability to teach in analytical chemistry would also be an asset. Contributions to laboratory and tutorial development and instruction will be expected. The successful candidate will teach two and half full course equivalents (75% teaching load) and should have a Ph.D. in Chemistry, or be close to completion. Candidates must have demonstrated familiarity and expertise in the subject. Salary will be commensurate with experience and qualifications. Additional information on the Department of Physical and Environmental Sciences can be obtained at: http://www.utsc.utoronto.ca/~physsci This competition is open until the position is filled. The search committee will begin reviewing applications on November 5, 2013. Applications should include a covering letter, curriculum vitae, and teaching statement and be submitted electronically to [email protected]. Applicants should ask three referees to submit a letter of recommendation electronically to [email protected]. The University of Toronto is fully committed to academic excellence and welcomes applications from all qualified individuals. All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however, Canadians and permanent residents will be given priority.

assistant professor level with experience in one of five key areas: biomimetic design, biomimetic synthesis, biomimetic assembly, biomimeticprogramming, or biomimetic materials and systems engineering, to begin Fall 2014. The successful candidate will become part of aninterdisciplinary team that aims to create intelligent materials and processes by design. Biomimetic designers will computationally design andmodel information-bearing molecular building blocks and predict how they will interact to create functional macromolecules. Researchers inthe area of biomimetic synthesis will focus on generating the information-bearing molecular building blocks. The assembly team will developreliable platforms to assemble the building blocks in super-structures with the desired properties. Programmers will propel the developedmolecular assemblies to the next level of complexity. Finally, biomimetic materials and systems engineers will integrate the newly developedmaterials with man-made systems, examining interfaces to achieve optimal functionality. The successful candidate will be expected todevelop a vigorous externally-funded research program at ASU with significant national and international recognition; teach effectively at theundergraduate and graduate levels; participate in professional and university service; and collaborate with the Center for Molecular Designand Biomimicry at the Biodesign Institute at ASU.
