Academic Employment Initiative

这一奖项将资助美国化学学会的一项学术就业倡议。该试点项目旨在扩大高校招聘化学科学教师的程序。这样做的目的是让学院和大学接触到比目前招聘做法所能接触到的更多的教师职位候选人，并让候选人有机会向更广泛的受众传达他们的教学和研究目标。第一阶段将包括在美国化学学会四次全国会议上进行为期两年的方案拟订。它将从2004年3月在阿纳海姆举行的美国教师协会会议上举行的关于“招聘教师”的总统活动研讨会开始。将为未来的教员申请者举办研讨会，并在这些会议上举行。将举行涉及教师候选人的海报会议，以允许候选人和招聘人员进行便捷的互动。其目标是创建一个更具包容性的教师招聘系统，最终将加强化学科学的研究和教学。评估将包括来自教师候选人和化学系、ACS委员会和联合赞助组织的意见。该奖项由化学司和多学科活动办公室/数学和物理科学局共同资助。

This award will fund an Academic Employment Initiative by the American Chemical Society. The pilot project is aimed at broadening the process which colleges and universities recruit faculty in the chemical sciences. The intent is to give colleges and universities exposure to a larger pool of candidates for faculty positions than is possible through current recruitment practices, and to give candidates the opportunity to convey their teaching and research goals to a wider audience. The initial phase will cover a two-year period of programming at each of four national meetings of the American Chemical Society. It will begin with a Presidential Event Symposium at the March 2004 ACS meeting in Anaheim on "Recruiting Faculty". Workshops will be developed for prospective faculty applicants and held at these meetings. Poster sessions involving the faculty candidates will be held to allow facile candidate-recruiter interactions. The goal is to create a more inclusive system of faculty recruiting that will ultimately strengthen research and teaching in the chemical sciences. Assessment will include input from both faculty candidates and chemistry departments, ACS committees and co-sponsoring organizations. This award is co-funded by the Division of Chemistry and the Office of Multidisciplinary Activities/Mathematics and Physical Sciences Directorate.
