BROCK UNIVERSITY
DEPARTMENT OF CHEMISTRY
(PHYSICAL AND ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY - BIOTECHNOLOGY)
The Department of Chemistry at Brock University invites
applications for two tenure track appointments at the assistant professor
level to begin July 1, 1999, subject to final budgetary approval. The
successful candidates will be expected to establish viable research
programmes in the Department. Applicants must have a Ph.D. with strong
background in either modern experimental physical, biophysical chemistry or
instrumentation-based analytical chemistry. Between them, the two
successful candidates are expected to teach courses in physical and
analytical chemistry at all levels including a third year level
(biotechnology) course on bio-reactor processes and one on bio-physical
methods.
Both appointees must have research areas that will contribute to a
proposed Ph.D. programme in biotechnology.
Brock is a mid-sized university with an enrollment approaching
11,000 students. The Department of Chemistry consists of eleven full-time
faculty members plus technical support staff, and offers B.Sc. and M.Sc.
degrees. Research is supported by NSERC and several other government
agencies. Research equipment includes an upgraded Kratos Concept 1S sector
mass spectrometer, Bruker 300 and 200 MHz multinuclear nmr spectrometers
for solutions and solids, HP GC/MSD, new PE Optima 3300DV ICP/OES system,
research AA's and ICP's, DCPs, FT IRs, GC and HPLC equipment. We plan to
add electrospray/APCI ms/ms capability this summer. Research equipment is
also available in the Department of Biological Sciences and the new Cool
Climate Oenology and Viticulture Institute (CCOVI). For more details on the
Department, see http://www.BrockU.CA/chemistry/ as well as the various
Brock University WEB pages, or contact the Chairman, Prof. Jack M. Miller,

Applications including a curriculum vitae, the names, telephone and
fax numbers or e-mail addresses of three referees, and a detailed research
plan should be sent as soon as possible. Candidates can expedite matters by
having referees write the department directly.
