Adjunct Faculty in Chemistry

The adjunct instructor of chemistry will teach daytime and/or evening sections of the lecture and/or laboratory for 100-level chemistry courses. Potential courses include General Chemistry I (CHM 134 and 135) and Principles of General and Organic Chemistry (CHM 122 and 123). Topics covered in CHM 134/135 include an introduction to stoichiometry, atomic structure, chemical bonding, properties and reactions of inorganic compounds, introductory thermodynamics, acids and bases, and oxidation-reduction reactions. The CHM 122 course serves students seeking careers in health-related fields (i.e. nursing). The adjunct instructor will be responsible for facilitating all in-class instruction, grading, utilizing the learning management system to share course information (including grades) with students, and for communicating grades to the full-time faculty member coordinating the course. All 100-level courses generally have enrollments under 30 students per section and have a full-time faculty member who serves as lead instructor and coordinator of course syllabi and schedules.

• Facilitate in-class instruction and grading for chemistry laboratory and/or lecture courses
• Work collaboratively with a team of professors who also teach these courses
• Effectively communicate with students and colleagues
• Maintain a culture of safety, which aligns with the mission of the department

A bachelor's degree in chemistry, biochemistry, or a related field is required. Preference will be given to applicants with previous teaching experience and/or higher degrees.
