The appointee will join a cohesive group of tenure- (26) and teaching-track (6) faculty in the Chemistry Department during an exciting period as we grow into new and renovated space in the Atwood Chemistry Center, refine our Chemistry Unbound undergraduate curriculum, and further enhance our strong record of fundamental discovery, translational impact, and cross-disciplinary collaboration.
