About Northeastern:
Founded in 1898, Northeastern is a global research university and the recognized leader in experience-driven lifelong learning. Our world-renowned experiential approach empowers our students, faculty, alumni, and partners to create impact far beyond the confines of discipline, degree, and campus.

Our locations—in Boston; Charlotte, North Carolina; London; Portland, Maine; San Francisco; Seattle; Silicon Valley; Toronto; Vancouver; and the Massachusetts communities of Burlington and Nahant—are nodes in our growing global university system. Through this network, we expand opportunities for flexible, student-centered learning and collaborative, solutions-focused research.

Northeastern's comprehensive array of undergraduate and graduate programs— in a variety of on-campus and online formats—lead to degrees through the doctorate in nine colleges and schools. Among these, we offer more than 195 multi-discipline majors and degrees designed to prepare students for purposeful lives and careers.

About the Opportunity:
The Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology at Northeastern University invites applications for a position at the rank of Assistant Professor (tenure-track) in analytical chemistry or environmental chemistry with a focus on plastics, beginning in academic year 2021-2022. Exceptional senior candidates will be considered for appointment at higher ranks. Joint or affiliated appointments with other departments may be possible.

Study of environmental plastics is advancing by applying analytical chemistry and imaging to resolve the size classes, chemistries and impact of plastics and their byproducts. Candidates are sought who study plastics or their byproducts in natural, engineered, or biological samples. Appointments will have the opportunity to collaborate in cross-disciplinary teams across the University and will complement existing strengths in analytical chemistry. Northeastern is also home to the Coastal Sustainability Institute https://apptrkr.com/get_redirect.php?id=2078806&targetURL=The Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology at Northeastern University invites applications for a position at the rank of Assistant Professor (tenure-track) in analytical chemistry or environmental chemistry with a focus on plastics, beginning in academic year 2021-2022.
