"Analytical Chemistry Tenure Track Faculty"

The Evergreen State College seeks a full-time regular* faculty member with expertise in analytical chemistry eager to teach innovative and interdisciplinary academic offerings starting in Fall 2026. We are also seeking another colleague to teach physical chemistry.

The successful candidate must be able to teach: analytical chemistry at intermediate and advanced levels; general chemistry; and chemistry as part of a general education within team-taught broadly themed interdisciplinary offerings. The ideal candidate for this position would show the potential for collaborative teaching with colleagues in other sciences, as well as in the arts, humanities, and social sciences. Candidates should demonstrate a commitment to supporting undergraduate research projects. Candidates with an interest in teaching instrumentation methods are desirable. We seek candidates with experience teaching diverse and underrepresented populations.

Evergreen is located in one thousand acres of forested land on the shoreline of the southern tip of Puget Sound, which provides bountiful potential for teaching and research opportunities in analytical chemistry. Many Evergreen students are particularly excited about applying chemistry to environmental questions.

Evergreen recently invested over $2 million in scientific instrumentation, demonstrating the college’s commitment to undergraduate science education and hands-on research training. Our research grade instrumentation includes a 400 MHz VT FT-NMR, GC-MS, ICP-MS, FT-IR (with microscope and ATR), UV-VIS, polarograph, discrete analyzer, C/H/N auto analyzer, mercury analyzer, and UHR FE-SEM with EDS and Cryo-Prep systems. The college also has fostered partnerships between state, local, and tribal agencies that can lead to research opportunities.

In addition to teaching, faculty are expected to advise and mentor students and participate in Evergreen’s system of shared governance.
