UIW Mission

Position Summary
The Instructor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry will primarily teach a selection of the upper division laboratory offerings in the department based on their area(s) of expertise, which could include analytical, biochemistry, inorganic, and/or physical chemistry laboratories.

As workload permits, the instructor will also contribute to lower division course offerings. This is a non-tenure-track position.

Official duties and responsibilities of faculty members at the University include teaching, scholarship, service and professional activities. In all matters, faculty are expected to maintain the highest standards of professional ethics consistent with the UIW Mission.
