Detailed Job Description
The School of Chemistry and Materials Science (SCMS) at the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor faculty position, beginning in August 2024.

We are seeking an individual who has the ability and interest in contributing to a community committed to student-centeredness; professional development and scholarship; integrity and ethics; respect, diversity and pluralism; innovation and flexibility; and teamwork and collaboration.

Department/College Description
The RIT College of Science (COS) places Access, Equity, and Diversity as prominent values within the college. We seek to build a network of researchers that will support ongoing work in COS to forge a path forward as we grow our strategic research areas and who will contribute to a climate of respect and inclusion within our college community. As one of the top external grant-funded colleges on campus, the College of Science gives students unrivaled opportunities to engage in real-world research with supportive faculty mentors. In 2018 the School of Chemistry & Materials Science received $4M toward its Chemical Analysis Facility. The instrumentation recently purchased include, but not limited to, GCMS, LCMS, FPLC, GPC, fluorescence lifetime, NMR, EDXRF, SEM, and IR and Raman microscopies that will all be fully available to the candidate that fills this position. A full list of available instrumentation can found on the RIT College of Science Chemical Analysis Laboratory website.

The College of Science currently has several strategic priorities, including efforts to attract and retain high-quality, diverse faculty, students, and staff; to ensure an inclusive campus culture and a global mindset; to advance research and scholarship; to capitalize on key partnerships and current strengths to increase the community, regional, and global impact of COS; and to incentivize, support, recognize, and reward scholarly engagement activities by students, faculty, and staff. We plan to hire faculty who can contribute to some or all of these strategic priorities.

The School of Chemistry & Materials Science offers undergraduate degrees in Chemistry
and Biochemistry, Master's degrees in Chemistry and Materials Science & Engineering, and several BS/MS program options. The school currently has 23 faculty members and supports approximately 150 BS Chemistry and Biochemistry majors, 20 MS students in Chemistry and Materials Science & Engineering, and many BS/MS students.
