University of Oregon - Organic Chemistry Tenure Track Position

The Chemistry Department at Oregon State is currently searching for a talented individual in organic chemistry at the assistant, associate or full professor level. We are interested in interviewing qualified candidates at all levels and I would greatly appreciate it if you could pass the attached advertisement on to anyone who might be interested in the position. The advertisement is also posted on our departmental website at http://www.chemistry.oregonstate.edu/organic_search_2007.html. The applicants are asked to submit their application electronically at the following address: https://jobs.oregonstate.edu/. For full consideration, all materials should be submitted by October 1, 2007.

Oregon State University has historically maintained a strong presence in organic chemistry and our Department Chair, College of Science Dean and Office of Research Vice President are all committed to maintaining and expanding this area of research. Their support was critical in two recently awarded grants (from the National Science Foundation's Major Research Instrumentation Program and the private Murdock Charitable Trust) that will allow us to purchase shortly a new 700 MHz NMR with carbon-optimized cryoprobe to be used by the organic chemistry faculty. I should also point out that OSU has begun its first capital campaign with the targeted goal of raising $600 million in donations. Included in this capital campaign is a new $61M building to house a significant component of the chemistry faculty as well as the Linus Pauling Institute. Recently, the University has secured the majority of the funds for this new building through a combination of private donations and state support. A second building is intended to be built shortly after the completion of this first phase. Finally, a new drug discovery initiative entitled Oregon Translational Research and Drug Development Institute (OTRADI) has been recently funded by the State of Oregon to provide incentives for interdisciplinary research directed toward the development of new drugs for the treatment of infectious diseases.
