Stacey and others:

We are contemplating a tenure-track faculty search next year.  This search would not necessarily be for ChemEd, but would be for someone who was particularly interested in teaching multiple sections of non-majors (liberal arts) chemistry.  The person would have to develop a scholarly research agenda, and it certainly could be in any area of chemistry.  My impression is that there are not many candidates out there, even in the ChemEd community,  who would welcome 9 contact hour teaching load per semester [of which most would be in  non-majors (liberal arts) chemistry] while simultaneously conducting a moderately-vigorous (>1 peer-review publication per year) research program.

I would welcome comments from any readers about the availability of candidates over the next couple of years.  Please send your replies off-list if possible.

Regards,

Willy Hunter
