Natural Sciences Professoriate-Track Faculty Research Fellowship, 2019-2021(apply.interfolio.com/53007) 

The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC) invites applications for the Natural Sciences Professoriate-Track Faculty Research Fellowship (http://chemistry.umbc.edu/overview/open-positions/). The purpose of the Fellowship is to support promising scholars interested in a future tenure track faculty appointment at UMBC and who are committed to diversity and inclusiveness.  The Department welcomes applications from candidates with research and teaching interests in all areas of Chemistry or Biochemistry, and with diverse experiences, including candidates from industry, academia, or government laboratories.  We are particularly interested in receiving applications from individuals who are members of groups that historically have been underrepresented in the STEM professoriate.

UMBC is a national model for diversity and inclusive excellence in STEM with faculty committed to developing the next generation of diverse professionals in STEM.  The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry (http://chemistry.umbc.edu/) is a research-intensive department with thriving Ph.D. programs in Chemistry and Biochemistry as well as renowned undergraduate programs and faculty engaged in extramurally funded innovative research at the cutting edge of chemistry and biochemistry.

This Fellowship will begin July 2019, with the potential for conversion to a tenure-track assistant professor position within two years.  The fellow will receive: a competitive stipend; health benefits; funds for conference travel, preparation of scholarly work, instrument services and supplies/consumables; lab space and other privileges.  During the two-year appointment, the fellow will be devoted to initiating an independent research program while teaching one course per year. Experienced mentors will meet with the fellow regularly to provide guidance on developing the skills needed to succeed in a tenure track career at a research intensive university (e.g., proposal/manuscript writing, developing a pedagogically sound teaching philosophy, etc.).

Eligibility:  Successful candidates will hold a PhD in Chemistry, Biochemistry, or related field and demonstrate a commitment to diversity and inclusiveness in STEM.
