Assistant Professor, Inorganic Chemistry

Definition of Classification :

The Chemistry Department at the University of Redlands is seeking to hire a tenure-track inorganic chemist at the rank of Assistant Professor to begin August 2025.

Primary teaching responsibilities will include an upper-level Inorganic Chemistry course, General Chemistry lectures and laboratories, and Organic Chemistry laboratories.

The successful candidate is expected to develop a productive research program involving undergraduate students. Research areas of particular interest to the department are organometallic chemistry, bioinorganic chemistry, materials chemistry, or other areas that cross the traditional boundaries of the subdisciplines of chemistry.

Collaborations may also exist with our neighboring institutions such as LLUMC, UC-Irvine and the Keck Graduate School. Candidates must demonstrate a strong dedication to teaching and mentoring incoming students with diverse backgrounds, including students that may have little to no background in chemistry.

The University of Redlands is an independent, private university with strong roots in liberal arts education. We are a Hispanic Serving Institution, with 40% of our student body composed of first-generation students and believe that bringing together faculty, students, and staff from diverse cultural and / or socio-economic backgrounds creates a richer learning environment.

The University also has a strong commitment to community service learning. The Chemistry Department is ACS accredited, serving undergraduate major / minor students in Chemistry & Biochemistry as well as the general education program of the College of Arts and Sciences.

Experiential learning, collaborative learning, and faculty-student interaction are highly valued in this close-knit academic community.
