We are seeking a colleague with strong commitments to research, teaching, and embracing a diverse and inclusive community of scholars. Candidates should have research interests in experimental or theoretical approaches in Inorganic or Physical Organic Chemistry, particularly those that intersect with multidisciplinary areas of biological sciences, materials science, and nanoscience. Applications received by November 1 will be guaranteed consideration, although extraordinary applicants may be considered after this date. To guarantee consideration, all applicants should submit a curriculum vitae, list of publications and description of research interests via the website https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/9685.

OTHEROPPORTUNITIES

The Inorganic Chemistry Exchange program offers summer employment opportunities to undergraduate students in chemistry, who will have completed the equivalent of two or three full years of study as of May 2018. Up to 7 qualified candidates from across Canada are awarded employment as a summer research assistant at an institution other than their own, in the laboratory of one of these ICE faculty members:

Mario Bieringer – University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, MB Andrew Grosvenor/Rob Scott – University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, SK

Vladimir Michaelis/Jonathan Veinot, University of Alberta, Edmonton, AB Tom Baker, University of Ottawa, Ottawa, ON

Eric Price, University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, SK Derek Gates – University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC

Bryan Koivisto – Ryerson University, Toronto, ON

The specific interests of the faculty participants vary considerably – there is a whole periodic table out there! Projects will range from synthesis and catalysis to materials science to bioinorganic chemistry. The ICE Program will wrap up with a workshop for all participating students and faculty at the University of Alberta on August 16-17, 2018.

The ICE awards consist of a salary component (set at competitive rates and specified in letter of offer) and a travel allowance. Students should note that these are commensurate with the current value of NSERC USRA student awards. Those universities with Co-op programs normally recognize the ICE summer placement as the equivalent of a Co-op work term. Students are expected to apply for an NSERC Undergraduate Student Research Award (USRA) where applicable.

APPLICATIONS ARE DUE Friday, November 3, 2017 For further information on the ICE program and links to the faculty participants and their host institutions, visit the ICE website at www.inorganicchemistryexchange.ca

For an application form, please download the PDF from the ICE webpage. Fill it in using Adobe Acrobat Reader.

Submit it electronically (preferred) or as hard-copy to your local ICE representative along with a copy of your current academic transcript.

Your local ICE representative is: Prof. Vladimir Michaelis
