The Department of Chemistry at Boston University invites applications for a research Postdoctoral Associate Lecturer (PAL) opening starting as early as September 1, 2021 and no later than January 1, 2022, with a preferred start date of September 1, 2021.

Of particular interest are candidates capable of supporting the teaching of sophomore Organic Chemistry. Initial appointments are full-time for one year and are renewable based on satisfactory performance. The duties of the appointment are divided roughly equally between teaching and research. The teaching component will involve guided experiences in teaching undergraduate courses with opportunities to develop new curricula and implement innovative teaching methodologies related to introductory organic chemistry. In the past, PALs have led discussion sections and laboratory sections – including a research guided laboratory experience. Research is conducted in affiliation with a faculty research group. Additional information about the PAL program as well as descriptions of our academic programs and research interests of faculty may be found at www.bu.edu/chemistry.
