Department Chair and Professor - 0800119

The University of Alabama seeks an outstanding individual for the position of Chair of the Department of Chemistry. The UA Department of Chemistry is housed in the new Shelby Hall and comprises 23 faculty members in the five traditional areas of specialization with research programs and center activities focused on synthesis, material science, biological systems, and energy. The UA Chemistry program places emphasis on quality education at the undergraduate and graduate levels while building a strong research enterprise with private and public sector collaborators. The successful candidate must possess exceptional leadership abilities, have demonstrated administrative experience, and have an understanding and enthusiasm for both the teaching and research missions.  The area of expertise of the applicant is open, but should complement those of the existing faculty and future plans for growth in the Department.  

To apply, go to http://facultyjobs.ua.edu, search for this position (requisition #0800119), and complete the online application. Attach files for a cover letter of application (which includes the names of at least 3 references), a curriculum vita (including publication list), and statements of administrative and leadership philosophy, research plans, and teaching philosophy and interests. If you wish to attach this in a single file, for any entry where you do not attach a file, please write words to the effect of "Included in file with the cover letter" in the text entry box, which is immediately below the file box on that entry's attachment page. There is also an "other document" feature. If you do not have an additional file to attach, access the attachment page for the "other document" entry and type "None" in the text book at the bottom of the page. If you have selected to send documents directly to the chairperson of the search committee, type "Send directly to search chairperson" in the text box for each attachment. The online application form will not consider the application complete and will not send it to the search committee until either file or text is included for each attachment entry.

Potential candidates may contact the chairperson of the search committee, if additional information is desired.  Consideration of applications and nominations begins on October 31, 2008 and continues until the position is filled. 

The University of Alabama is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer.  Applications from women and minorities are encouraged.
