The Department of Chemistry & Chemical Biology at McMaster University solicits applications to fill a tenure-track position at the rank of Assistant Professor in the area of biointerfaces chemistry, effective July 1, 2013. Applications are encouraged in all areas of biointerfaces chemistry, including preparation, characterization, modeling or applications of biointerfaces. Scientists with research interests that have applications in the biosciences, environmental science and materials/ nanoscience areas are encouraged to apply.
Our aim is to enhance interdisciplinary science at McMaster, a university with a long-standing history of collaborative research initiatives. In addition to having access to the equipment and facilities in this department, the successful candidate will also have access to the facilities in the Brockhouse Institute for Materials Research, the Canadian Centre for Electron Microscopy, the Centre for Microbial Chemical Biology and the newly established Biointerfaces Institute. This facility consists of several instrument suites for high-throughput development and characterization of biomaterials and biointerfaces, including 850 MHz solid-state biological NMR, imaging MALDI mass spectrometry, imaging XPS and automated materials synthesis and screening infrastructure, with current research themes in bioactive surfaces for sensing and separation, ophthalmic biomaterials, and fundamental studies of biointerface interactions. For additional information on the department, see: http://www.chemistry.mcmaster.ca
Applicants should clearly demonstrate potential to develop a prominent, externally funded research program and to be committed to excellence in teaching at the graduate and undergraduate levels. Candidates must have a doctoral degree in chemistry, or a closely related field, postdoctoral experience and a promising record of research scholarship and productivity.
Application materials must include a cover letter, curriculum vitae, a statement of teaching interests, and detailed descriptions of at least three research projects that exemplify their proposed research program. Please include a listing of the major instrumentation and equipment necessary to pursue each project. Review of applications will begin after November 1, 2012, and will continue until the position is filled. Please send these materials and arrange for three letters of recommendation to be sent to:
Dr. John D. Brennan
Department of Chemistry & Chemical Biology
McMaster University
