ACS Academic Employment Initiative

To assist graduate and postdoctoral students, the ACS Office of Graduate Education and Department of Career Services are participating in a presidential program called the Academic Employment Initiative (AEI). The intent of this program is twofold: (1) to give colleges and universities exposure to a larger pool of candidates for faculty positions than is possible through current recruitment practices; and (2) to provide candidates the opportunity to convey their teaching and research goals to a wider audience. 11/29/06

Faculty Positions
	Radiochemistry Faculty Position The Department of Chemistry is seeking 2 candidates for full-time, 9-month, tenure-track Assistant/Associate Professor positions in Chemistry, commencing Fall 2008. Highest priority is a position in UNLV's Radiochemistry program, in which current research focuses on the chemistry of technetium and the actinides in solids, separations, the environment, and chemical syntheses. Successful applicants will be expected to develop a rigorous, externally funded research program that contributes to growing graduate programs in radiochemistry, chemistry, and/or chemical education. Further information on the Radiochemistry and Chemistry programs can be found at radchem.nevada.edu and http://sciences.unlv.edu/Chemistry/. 10/2/07
Research Faculty
	Research Assistant Professor The University of Missouri Research Reactor Center invites applicants for a non-tenure track research assistant professor in archaeometry/archaeology for the Fall 2008. The position requires a Ph.D. in archaeology, anthropology, or associated area. The successful applicant is expected to develop an independent, externally funded research program that utilizes the resources of the nation's largest university research reactor to address fundamental research problems in archaeometry using nuclear methods of analysis. 8/23/2008
	Research Assistant Professor The University of Missouri Research Reactor Center invites applicants for a non-tenure track research assistant professor in radioanalytical chemistry for the Fall 2008. The position requires a Ph.D. in chemistry. Post Doctoral experience is preferred but not required. The successful applicant is expected to develop an independent, externally funded research program that utilizes the resources of the nation's largest university research reactor to address basic and applied science research problems using nuclear methods of analysis. 9/19/2008
Post-Doctoral Positions
	Postdoctoral Research Associate (RA) Click on Careers at Brookhaven/Employment Opportunities and then Position 4922 Positions are immediately available in the Neutrino–Nuclear Chemistry Group of the Brookhaven National Laboratory Chemistry Department. The group’s main interdisciplinary research focus in chemistry and physics, as previously evidenced by its participation in the GALLEX and Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO) solar neutrino experiments, is the study of neutrino oscillations and neutrino mass. Currently the Group is active in new collaborations to develop and build Metal-Loaded Organic-Liquid Scintillators, to detect (a) >2-MeV antineutrinos in a project that is under construction at the nuclear-power reactor station at Daya Bay in China, (b) >1-MeV neutrinos from double beta-decay, planned for SNOLAB in Sudbury, Canada, and (c) 100-1500-keV neutrinos emitted by the Sun, planned for the new U.S. DUSEL. Candidates should have received a Ph.D. within the past four years in either nuclear chemistry, or separations chemistry, or radiochemistry, or nuclear science. 3/4/2008
	Postdoctoral Position in Nuclear Chemistry A postdoctoral position will be available starting October 1st, 2007 in the Department of Chemistry at Indiana University, Bloomington, for a recent nuclear science Ph.D. This position is within the Nuclear Chemistry group at the Indiana University Cyclotron Facility (IUCF). The group utilizes intermediate energy heavy-ion reactions to learn about the properties of nuclei and nuclear matter away from stability. Experiments are conducted using accelerators at MSU-NSCL, TAMU, and GANIL (France). 08/08/2007
	New Postdoctoral Positions Research in separations chemistry of actinium and daughters, chelation chemistry of actinium and daughters, conjugation chemistry of chelating groups with peptides and proteins, and radiation cell biology
