WOMEN'S FACULTY AWARD
CHEMISTRY
The Department of Chemistry at Brock University is seeking to
nominate a candidate for an NSERC University Faculty Award (targeted at
women scientists) in 1998 to fill a tenure track position at the assistant
professor level to commence in July, 1999. The successful candidate will be
expected to establish a viable research programme in the Department.
Applicants must have a Ph.D. with strong background in either modern
experimental physical chemistry or instrumentation-based analytical
chemistry. It would be advantageous if the successful candidate's research
area will contribute to a proposed Ph.D. programme in Biotechnology,
mounted jointly by the Departments of Chemistry and Biology. The successful
candidate will also be expected to be able to teach courses in her field at
various levels, undergraduate and graduate.
Brock is a mid-sized university with an enrolment 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 a Kratos Concept 1S sector mass
spectrometer with a Mach 3 datasystem, 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. Research equipment available in the Department of Biological
Sciences and the Cool Climate Oenology and Viticulture Institute (under
construction) includes cold rooms, centrifuges, radiation counters, culture
and fermentation facilities. For more details on the Department, see
http://www.BrockU.CA/chemistry/ as well as the Brock WEB pages, or contact
the Chair, Prof. Jack M. Miller, (905) 688 5550, ext. 3402 or
jmiller@spartan.ac.brocku.ca..
Applications for nomination including a curriculum vitae, the
names, telephone and fax numbers 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.
Only women who are Canadian citizens, or who have Canadian landed
immigrant status, qualify for this award.
Smoking at Brock University is strictly controlled.
Applications will be accepted until November 1st, 1998 or until the
