Request for your Help in Hiring a Visiting Assistant Faculty Member

25 February 2026

Because this is one of the most important things we do in the department, we truly need YOUR help. Every one of you, regardless of how many chemistry courses you have taken, bring experience and perspective we need. We need to know what you think of our candidates to ensure we hire the best people for our future. You can also help convince candidates that Carleton and our department are great places to be a professor – largely because of the quality and character of Carleton students.

We are looking for someone who is passionate about both teaching and research with Carleton students. Perusing the student feedback form  will give you a sense of what we would like from you. What does your involvement look like? We will be interviewing three candidates in the next two weeks. Each candidate will tour our facilities and visit with MANY people – chemistry faculty and staff, others on campus, and have several opportunities to interact with students. You must RSVP to guarantee we have students at these important interviews.
