Faculty Position for Chemistry
ASSISTANT PROFESSOR OF CHEMISTRY
CHEMISTRY DEPARTMENT
TENURE TRACK
START DATE: JULY 1, 2012
Application review will begin on October 24, 2011. The position will remain open and applications reviewed until filled.
Founded in 1890, Whitworth has been consistently ranked among the top regional colleges and universities in the West. In its strong liberal arts undergraduate education and graduate programs, Whitworth combines the Christian heritage of the University, its commitment to academic rigor and its long-standing orientation toward human service. A community of Christian scholars carries out the college's mission "to provide its diverse student body an education of the mind and heart."
The Chemistry department at Whitworth University provides a stimulating environment in which students can use the latest technology in course and lab work, and also have opportunities for advanced research. The department provides faculty and students access to modern instrumentation including a multinuclear 400 MHz NMR spectrometer, GC/MS, DSC, a high through-put HPLC system with autosampler, a fluorimeter, several UV-Vis and IR spectrometers, and various other instruments supporting individual research projects. The chemistry department is located in the newly opened Robinson Science Hall, a 63,000 ft. facility with state-of-the-art laboratories, instrumentation and research facilities for students and faculty. Classrooms are equipped with computerized teaching stations and demonstration podiums. The small class sizes typical in the department encourage students to become active learners in their own education, and helps foster close relationships between students and faculty members.
The Chemistry department is thriving and growing as supported by student demand and the University's strategic plan. In the last few years, the number of chemistry students has increased 60% and typically 15-20 students graduate with a chemistry major each year. In addition, several new faculty have joined the department, bringing a fresh perspective and energy to the program.
PRIMARY TEACHING RESPONSIBILITIES:
Primary teaching responsibilities include Organic Chemistry courses and laboratories in the fall and spring semesters; other teaching assignments may include the Biochemistry course or labs, a non-majors level or advanced chemistry topics course in applicant's area of expertise during the January Term; additional teaching assignments may include bioorganic (for health science students), CORE 350, seminar, or other laboratories. The typical teaching load is one course and four laboratories or two courses and two laboratories each fall and spring semester and a three-credit course in January.

CHEMISTRY DEPARTMENT
TENURE TRACK
START DATE: JULY 1, 2012
Application review will begin on October 24, 2011. The position will remain open and applications reviewed until filled.
Founded in 1890, Whitworth has been consistently ranked among the top regional colleges and universities in the West. In its strong liberal arts undergraduate education and graduate programs, Whitworth combines the Christian heritage of the University, its commitment to academic rigor and its long-standing orientation toward human service. A community of Christian scholars carries out the college's mission "to provide its diverse student body an education of the mind and heart."
The Chemistry department at Whitworth University provides a stimulating environment in which students can use the latest technology in course and lab work, and also have opportunities for advanced research. The department provides faculty and students access to modern instrumentation including a multinuclear 400 MHz NMR spectrometer, GC/MS, DSC, a high through-put HPLC system with autosampler, a fluorimeter, several UV-Vis and IR spectrometers, and various other instruments supporting individual research projects. The chemistry department is located in the newly opened Robinson Science Hall, a 63,000 ft. facility with state-of-the-art laboratories, instrumentation and research facilities for students and faculty. Classrooms are equipped with computerized teaching stations and demonstration podiums. The small class sizes typical in the department encourage students to become active learners in their own education, and helps foster close relationships between students and faculty members.
The Chemistry department is thriving and growing as supported by student demand and the University's strategic plan. In the last few years, the number of chemistry students has increased 60% and typically 15-20 students graduate with a chemistry major each year. In addition, several new faculty have joined the department, bringing a fresh perspective and energy to the program.
PRIMARY TEACHING RESPONSIBILITIES:
Primary teaching responsibilities include Organic Chemistry courses and laboratories in the fall and spring semesters; other teaching assignments may include the Biochemistry course or labs, a non-majors level or advanced chemistry topics course in applicant's area of expertise during the January Term; additional teaching assignments may include bioorganic (for health science students), CORE 350, seminar, or other laboratories. The typical teaching load is one course and four laboratories or two courses and two laboratories each fall and spring semester and a three-credit course in January.

PhD at Singapore on MIT Project
PhD scholarships for projects within the Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research & Technology (SMART), Future Urban Mobility (FM) IRG, to be supervised by NTU and MIT faculty.
The Future Urban Mobility (FM) Interdisciplinary Research Group is the fourth and most recent IRG established within the Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology (SMART). The FM IRG`s activities began officially on July 1, 2010.
The goal of the FM IRG is to develop, in and beyond Singapore, new paradigms for the planning, design and operation of future urban mobility systems. Innovative urban mobility systems, aimed at both passengers and freight, will materially enhance sustainability and societal well-being on a global scale.
This is a particularly opportune time to address this topic due to a confluence of relevant developments: major advances in computing, communications, and sensing technologies; the great progress that has been made in recent years in our ability to model, evaluate and optimize urban mobility systems; the growing importance of environmental sustainability issues; the aging of physical infrastructure in developed countries and the need for massive new infrastructure in less developed ones; and the vast economic stimulus that can be provided by the modernization and renewal of urban mobility systems worldwide.
The FM IRG will:
* harness and enhance promising networked computing and control (NCC) technology-enabled innovations that may contribute to improved future urban mobility;
* develop decision models that can be applied to support various novel mobility concepts, such as the pervasive use of real-time information, mobility-on-demand services and green logistics;
* investigate the potential and impacts of these innovations and decision models; and
* assess their implications for urban development and urban planning organizations and institutions.
The concrete project is the following:
Real-time Path Tracking/Predictions and On-Demand Route Guidance Under Uncertainty
Develop algorithms that use real-time data to (i) track and predict paths in dynamic transportation networks, and (ii) provide on-demand route guidance under uncertainty.
Please send detailed curriculum vitae, statement of research interests, three references, GRE and TOEFL scores, and relevant publications (if applicable) electronically to:
Prof. Justin Dauwels
Nanyang Technological University
School of Electrical & Electronic Engineering
Singapore
Email: recruitment@dauwels.com
Application deadline: October 15, 2011
