Job Description

Kenyon College, a highly selective, nationally ranked liberal arts college in central Ohio, invites applications for a Visiting position in Chemistry at the rank of Assistant Professor beginning in July 2026. We seek a chemist who is committed to the education of undergraduates in a liberal arts environment, particularly at the organic and introductory chemistry level. With a five-course load each year across the curriculum, there is also potential to offer an advanced course in their area of expertise. The successful candidate will have some research or teaching experience in experimental organic chemistry and hold a Ph.D. in chemistry or a related field. Candidates with connections to environmental and physical chemistry are particularly encouraged to apply.

To apply, candidates should visit the online application site found at http://careers.kenyon.edu. Applicants should hold a Ph.D. degree or expect completion by the start of the fall semester. A complete application will be composed of 1) a cover letter; 2) a statement of the applicant's teaching philosophy (no more than 2 pages); 3) a Curriculum Vitae; 4) an unofficial graduate transcript; and 5) contact information for three professional references (letters will be requested after initial review). All application materials must be submitted electronically through Kenyon’s employment website.

Review of applications will begin February 28, 2026, and will continue until the position is filled. Completed applications received by the February 28, 2026 deadline will be guaranteed full consideration.
