Yippee--my department will be searching for a new faculty member this coming year! It's a biochemistry position, so I'm posting here because I know some VIPErs straddle the line between inorganic and biochemistry and/or you might have a biochemist friend or colleague who is looking for such a position.
Dear Colleagues,
I am writing to let you know that I am organizing a symposium at the Philadelphia ACS meeting on the teaching of undergraduate Inorganic Chemistry. The symposium is sponsored by the Division of Chemical Education. The deadline for submitting an abstract is Monday, March 28, 2016. I hope that you will be able to participate. The symposium description is given below.
All my best,
John Miecznikowski
Associate Professor of Chemistry

The CESTA program (Community Engagement in Scienc Through Art) is a new science-art summer program beginning in the summer of 2016 at West Virginia University.
The objective of the CESTA summer program is to train and encourage students from all disciplines to educate and engage the community to discuss science as it pertains to our daily lives and decisions, and to introduce the beauty of science through art and understanding.
If you or others on this VIPEr forum are considering attending BCCE, my colleague, Sarah Shaner, and I are organizing a symposium "Fostering Success in General Chemistry". Please share with your colleagues that may be interested in presenting their experiences with general chemistry.
Dear colleagues,
The deadline for the submission of Symposia and Workshops at the 2016 BCCE (Biennial Conference on Chemical Education) is this Sunday, December 6th. More information can be found at http://www.bcce-submissions.com.
Hope to see you there!

ABOUT THE U.S. NAVAL ACADEMY:
Hello,
We sometimes have need for adjuncts to teach general chemistry or organic chemistry lab sections (and possibly other sections). The calls for these adjuncts are sporadic, but if you are interested, let me know and I will point you in the right direction in terms of where to see if there are positions being advertised. If you are in the Chicago and want to get experience teaching in a great environment, this would be something to think about. Generally, we are looking for people who are team players, hard workers, responsible, and with great communication skills.
The Department of Chemistry at Lewis & Clark College invites applications for a one-year (10 month) visiting professor position for the 2015-2016 academic year. Teaching responsibilities will include General Chemistry lecture, discussion, and laboratory sections. Our academic year starts August 31, 2015 and ends May 5, 2016. Applicants should have a Ph.D. and have experience teaching General Chemistry.
