Assistant or Associate Professor
About the Role
The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry in the College of Science at the University of Texas at Arlington invites applications for a tenure-track position at the assistant or associate professor level, beginning Fall 2027.
Research Focus
We seek outstanding candidates with expertise in synthetic organic, bioorganic, bioinorganic, medicinal chemistry, or biochemistry. Research interests should complement or intersect synthetic chemistry or biochemical expertise with translational neuroscience expertise and centers developing at UTA, including the UTA Clinical Imaging Research Center (3-Tesla MRI), UTA Pediatric Health and Neurosciences Center, and UTA Bioengineering Program. Candidates who can bridge these fields and help translate laboratory findings to the clinic are encouraged to apply. Emerging research programs related to developing compounds, polymers, conjugates, or biomolecules that could serve as brain-imaging agents, therapeutics, probes, delivery systems, or other tools relevant to neuroscience are of particular interest.
Responsibilities
- Establish an internationally recognized, independent research group
- Supervise and mentor graduate students
- Teach graduate and undergraduate organic, medicinal chemistry, or biochemistry courses
- Initiate and maintain a well-funded research program
- Demonstrate commitment to excellence in teaching and service
Required Qualifications
- PhD in Chemistry, Medicinal Chemistry, Biochemistry, or a closely related area
- Post-doctoral experience
Preferred Qualifications
- Grant writing experience
Application Requirements
The candidate's application letter must address their ability to contribute to neurochemical research, broadly defined—whether independently, in collaboration with others, or with established centers at UTA.
