JOB DESCRIPTION

The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry is a multidisciplinary program which offers degrees at both the undergraduate (B.S.) and graduate level (M.S. and Ph.D.). The Department is located at Gateway Park, a modern research hub, which offers excellent research infrastructure, including computational facilities.

Faculty are regularly funded by the NIH, NSF, DOD, DOE and various corporate sponsors.

Applicants should have a strong background in synthesis broadly defined. We are particularly interested in candidates who can apply these skills to developing probes, therapeutics, or modifying biomolecules like proteins, nucleic acids or lipids. The successful candidate is expected to develop an externally funded research program leading to national and international recognition, to teach chemistry and/or biochemistry at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, to participate in WPI's signature project-based curriculum, and to contribute to the operation and promotion of the department, university, and the profession.

WPI is consistently ranked among the top 70 research institutions by US News & World Report. Located one hour west of Boston, the university's campus is in Worcester, Massachusetts, a thriving 21st century college city recognized as a growing hub of scientific and technological innovation, particularly the areas of life sciences, health and pharmaceuticals. WPI offers highly competitive salary and benefits.
