Two Assistant Professors in Computational Chemistry and Inorganic or Materials Chemistry

The Department of Chemistry at the University of Hawai’i at Manoa invites applications for a one tenure-track Computational Chemistry faculty position at the level of Assistant Professor, and one tenure-track Inorganic or Materials Chemistry faculty position as an Assistant Professor. Exceptional candidates with a Ph.D. in Chemistry or closely related fields and with research and teaching interests in computational chemistry, inorganic or material chemistry are encouraged to apply.

Candidates for both positions are expected to establish productive, externally funded research programs and contribute to undergraduate and graduate teaching within the Chemistry Department.  We are especially interested in candidates whose research interests are responsive to the strategic needs of the State of Hawai’i, and that synergize with existing strengths within the department and the university, which include synthesis and characterization of materials for alternative energy applications, tandem experimental and computational development of novel catalysts for sustainable and environmentally responsible chemical transformations; and discovery and synthesis of antibiotic or antitumor compounds.  Information about current faculty research interests in the Department of Chemistry can be found at http://www.manoa.hawaii.edu/chem/. For the computational position, qualified candidates with research interests in CO2 reduction and/or atmospheric chemistry will receive special consideration.

Where You Will Work:

The University of Hawai’i at Manoa is the flagship campus of a 10-campus system and is one of only a handful of institutions that are land-, sea-, space-, and sun-grant institutions. UH Mānoa is a destination of choice for students and faculty from across the nation and the world, and offers unique research opportunities, a diverse community, a nationally-ranked Division I athletics program and much more.  UH Mānoa is an indigenous-serving institution, drawing students from a diverse population that includes those of Hawaiian, Pacific Islander, and Asian ethnicity.  We deliver a multicultural global experience in a Hawaiian place of learning, with a long history of adherence to the principles of sustainability and the essence of aloha.

Review of applications for both positions will begin October 31, 2023 and continue until the positions are filled.
