\nThe postdoctoral associate teaching scholars (PATS) program provides a two-year, full time appointment in the Department of Chemistry for recent Ph.D. graduates who plan to pursue academic careers at 4-year liberal arts colleges.<\/p>\n

The program provides Postdoctoral Associate Teaching Scholars (PATSs) first-hand experience in teaching chemistry, while enabling them to conduct research.<\/p>\n

Teaching<\/strong>: PATSs teach undergraduate classes (general, organic, inorganic, biological, or physical chemistry); lead discussion sections; direct laboratory sessions; advise students; and present lectures in our core courses in collaboration with faculty mentors. PATSs develop course and laboratory content and materials and mentor undergraduate research students.<\/p>\n

Research<\/strong>: PATSs conduct research in affiliation with faculty research groups (theoretical\/computational, organic, physical, inorganic, biochemistry, chemical education). They have wide flexibility in selecting a laboratory and research project. Each fellow conducts their own research approximately half time during the academic year and full time in the summer months.<\/p>\n

PATSs obtain exceptional experience in teaching chemistry at the university level and a clear advantage in the academic job market. PATS alumni have received assistant professorships at such four-year institutions as Siena College, Hope College, Roger Williams University, Bard College, Georgetown Southern University, Fairfield University, Massachusetts Liberal Arts College, Hamilton College, Wilkes University, Belmont College, and Union College.\n<\/p><\/div>\n
