Bellingham, Washington, United States Chemistry Department - WWU Full time

Western Washington University, with over 15,000 students in seven colleges and the graduate school, is nationally recognized for its educational programs, students and faculty. The campus is located in Bellingham, Washington, a coastal community of 90,000 overlooking Bellingham Bay, the San Juan Islands and the North Cascades Mountain range. The city lies 90 miles north of Seattle and 60 miles south of Vancouver, British Columbia. Western has additional sites in Anacortes, Bremerton, Everett, Port Angeles, and Poulsbo. Western is recognized nationally for its successes, such as being named one of the top public master's-granting institutions in the Pacific Northwest for 25 years in a row by U.S. News & World Report.

Western Washington University is committed to achieving excellence through advancing inclusive success, increasing our Washington impact, and focusing on transformational education grounded in the liberal arts and sciences and based on innovative scholarship, research, and creative activity. Western's greatest strength is the outstanding students, faculty, staff, and alumni/ae who make up its community. Western supports an inclusive governance structure for all and provides a learning and working environment in which everyone can thrive. In pursuit of this excellence, individual employees are expected to establish and maintain productive and effective inclusive working relationships amongst diverse populations including staff, faculty, administration, student, and external constituents. Further, individual employees are expected to have the ability to operationalize sustainability concepts (economic, societal, environmental) into all aspects of performing their job duties.

The Chemistry Department has 24 tenure-track faculty, serves about 300 undergraduate majors and over 20 graduate students annually, and offers a variety of degrees in Biochemistry or Chemistry (M.S., B.S., B.A.), along with a combined B.A. with Education degree. The B.S. Chemistry degree is certified by the American Chemical Society. More than half of our undergraduate majors are active in faculty-mentored research projects, and many present their work at national meetings and are co-authors on peer-reviewed publications. Students are also involved in outreach, inclusion, professional development, and leadership activities through our Student Chapter of the American Chemical Society and Student Ambassador Program.

The College of Science and Engineering (CSE) and the Department are committed to creating equitable and inclusive learning and working environments for their students, faculty, and staff. WWU is one of 24 institutions in the USA to receive funding from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) Inclusive Excellence Program. One HHMI Initiative is the Advancing Excellence and Equity in Science (AEES) Program that focuses on enhancing recruitment, retention, and success for first-generation, underrepresented racial and ethnic minority, female, and transfer students in CSE. In addition, several faculty-led initiatives and committees focus on diversity and inclusivity in the classroom and beyond. Involvement with the Society for Advancement of Chicanos/Hispanics and Native Americans in Science (SACNAS), and our "Out in Science" program are also vital to advancing inclusion within the college (WWU STEM Clubs).

WWU invites applications for a tenure-track assistant professor position in analytical chemistry beginning Fall quarter, 2025. The Chemistry Department and the College of Sciences and Engineering support Western's mission, which states that together with our students, staff, and faculty, we are committed to making a positive impact in the state and the world with a shared focus on academic excellence and inclusive achievement. We encourage applications from women, people of color, people with disabilities, veterans, and those with the ability to be sensitive to and inclusive of students with marginalized identities and backgrounds. The successful candidate will be expected to teach analytical chemistry (i.e. quantitative analysis) and instrumental analysis, as well as general chemistry and appropriate special topics courses. The person will also be expected to fulfill working, teaching, and mentoring responsibilities in ways that provide equitable and inclusive environments for all students, faculty, and staff. The successful candidate will be expected to develop and maintain an active research program involving undergraduate and M.S. students.

Please see for complete required and preferred qualifications as well as application instructions. Review of applications begins October 1, 2024; position open until filled. Inquiries about the position may be addressed to the search committee co-chair, Prof. Steven Emory, at
