Ryerson University: Chemical Biology
The Opportunity
The Department of Chemistry and Biology in the Faculty of Science at Ryerson University invites applications for a full-time tenure-track position in Chemical Biology at the Assistant Professor level, commencing July 1, 2018, subject to final budgetary approval. This position is expected to synergize with, and complement current faculty interests, and sit at the interface of chemistry and biology. The Department of Chemistry and Biology is in a phase of dynamic growth, both at the undergraduate and graduate levels. In addition to Bachelor of Science degrees in Chemistry, Biomedical Science and Biology, the department offers Master’s and Doctoral programs in both Molecular Science and Environmental Applied Science and Management. We invite you to learn more by visiting us at http://www.ryerson.ca/cab/.
Responsibilities
As the department continues to expand its research activities, the new faculty member will: be responsible for teaching organic chemistry, biochemistry, and molecular or cell biology at an introductory level; supervise at both the undergraduate and graduate levels; establish and maintain a strong externally-funded research agenda; collaborate with other university departments, partners and the community; participate in departmental and university service; and support curriculum development in undergraduate and graduate courses in the biomedical sciences, biology and/or chemistry programs, as required.
