WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE (WPI)
Worcester, Massachusetts, USA
The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry invites
applications from scientists working at the interface
of chemistry and biochemistry for two tenure-track
positions starting in August 2009: one at
the ASSISTANT and one at the ASSOCIATE Professor
level. Extending successful faculty recruitment in the
last two years, these are part of a strategic plan to expand
our department within a larger WPI Life Science
research initiative focused in biophysics, green energy,
and regenerative bioscience. These two positions
are part of a planned ‘cluster hire’ of five positions this
year in this initiative. (For more information on this initiative
visit: www.wpi.edu/goto/lifesci). A new $70M
state-of-the-art research facility hosting the Life Science
research departments and WPI Bioengineering
Institute anchors this effort. Successful candidates
for the junior position should have postdoctoral research
experience and are expected to develop a vigorous,
externally funded research program. The ideal
applicants at the Associate level will have an established
record of research productivity, demonstrated
success securing research funding, and evidence
of teaching excellence. The Department of Chemistry
and Biochemistry offers both undergraduate and
graduate (Ph.D.) degrees. WPI is a private, nationally
ranked technological university with a student population
of 4,450, including 1,300 full-time and part-time
graduate students. Worcester, New England’s second
largest city, offers ready access to diverse economic,
cultural, and recreational resources of the region. Further
