| The Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry at Mount Allison University in Sackville, New
Brunswick invites applications for a Margaret and Wallace McCain Postdoctoral Fellowship (primarily teaching) for July 2022 to June 2023. Established on the initiative of the McCain family, the Fellowship is intended to enhance teaching at the University while adding new elements of research/creative activity. Applicants must hold a PhD and be able to contribute to upper level biochemistry/chemistry courses, as well as to intellectual life on campus including the supervision of Honours student research. The successful candidate is expected to teach three upper level, 3‐credit courses in the 2022-2023 academic year including Nucleic Acids (BIOC 3041), Signal Transduction (BIOC 4031) and a third course in the applicant’s area of expertise or Current Advances in Chemistry & Biochemistry (CHEM/BIOC 4903). While the fellow may act as an independent researcher, the area of research should align with the strengths of the department (https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/21421). The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry has excellent molecular biology laboratories, a Digital Microscopy Facility, modern analytical instrumentation, cell culture and a biosafety level 2 facility.
The appointment will commence July 1, 2022 and is a one year sabbatical replacement. The Fellowship offers a competitive salary with relocation assistance and a complete benefits package. The complete application should include a cover letter, CV, contact details for three references, and a one-page document outlining teaching philosophy and research interests. Applications are being managed through Academic Jobs Online ( ) and should be submitted to that site, not by email.
