Tea with Lee at 3

Dr. Lee would like to host a "Tea with Lee at 3" on Thursday, November 19th in the Student Centre, Room #250 Essex Hall.

She will provide the tea and desserts.

Thank you Dr. Lee!

ALL GRADUATE STUDENTS, FACULTY, STAFF AND MMB STUDENTS are welcome!

REMINDER: 

Food Drive Challenge

The Faculty of Science has challenged all Science departments to a Food Drive.

Since Chemistry & Biochemistry have always been up for a challenge, and determined to win, we are asking that (if you're able to), bring one or two canned goods to the "Tea with Lee" event.

Be sure you bring them to the Chemistry office, #273 Essex Hall.  Do not put them in the big  box in the hallway, as this belongs to the Faculty of Science department.

Suggested canned goods are:  soup, vegetables, fruit, zoodles, pasta sauce, etc.

See attached flyer for further information.  Hope to see everyone there.

Chemistry and Biochemistry Canned Food Drive

Chemistry and Biochemistry Canned Food Drive

All Chemistry and Biochemistry Faculty, Staff, PDF, Grad and 410 Students:

Bring in your unexpired can goods or non perishable food items.

You are being challenged - lets set a record and beat the other departments in the Faculty of Science.  If we win, we get to share a coffee break!  

There is a box set up in the main office.   Contest runs from Nov. 1-30, 2015

Details below.

Chili cook off - Feb. 13, 2015

We will be having our 3rd Annual Chili Day starting at noon on Friday, February 13, 2015 (to celebrate Valentine's Day!!) in room #273 Essex Hall.

Please see the attached flyer (below) for more details.

If you are interested in bringing a pot of your famous chili, there will be a sign up sheet in the main office, Essex Hall, Room 273-1

Hope to see everyone there! 

Now hiring: tenure-track position in Environmental Chemistry - DEADLINE: May 19, 2014

Tenure-track position in Environmental Chemistry - DEADLINE: May 19, 2014

Tenure-Track Faculty Position in Environmental Chemistry - DEADLINE: May 19, 2014
Great Lakes Institute for Environmental Research (GLIER) and the Department of Biochemistry and Chemistry

The Great Lakes Institute for Environmental Research (GLIER-UW) and the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry (Chem/Biochem) at the University of Windsor invite outstanding candidates to apply for a Tenure-Track faculty position at the rank of Assistant Professor in the area of Environmental Chemistry, commencing as early as July 1, 2014 or soon thereafter. This position is subject to final budgetary approval.

GLIER-UW and Chem/Biochem are research intensive units with active and vibrant graduate programs with diverse sources of external funding within the Faculty of Science. The successful candidate will have a joint-appointment with the two units in the Faculty of Science. To learn more about GLIER-UW and Chem/Biochem, please visit our website at http://www.uwindsor.ca/glier and http://www.uwindsor.ca/chemistry.

The successful candidate will be expected to develop an active research program and mentor graduate students in aquatic nutrient chemistry dynamics as related to primary production in aquatic ecosystems and support GLIER-UW’s mission (aquatic resource sustainability with a focus on interacting multiple stressors). Particularly exciting opportunities exist for research on the eutrophication crisis in the lower Great Lakes, while expertise in large-lake nutrient stress in general would be an asset. Expertise and experience in analytical methods development, chemical cycling, bioavailability and modeling and their application to environmental research approaches are considered strong assets. Existing GLIER-UW faculty members work on aquatic environmental processes and issues and have strengths in ecological tracers, fisheries, conservation and evolutionary genetics, invasion biology, ecotoxicology, predictive ecology, biogeochemistry, large-system modeling and nutrient/metal/chemical dynamics.

The ideal candidate must possess a PhD, in Chemistry and/or Environmental science with subsequent interests in developing and delivering training in instrumental analyses related to analytical chemistry in environmental systems. Teaching duties will be assigned in Chem/Biochem and shared with graduate teaching and supervision duties within the GLIER-UW graduate program.

In addition, an outstanding record of research productivity, and a willingness to work in a highly collaborative and multidisciplinary research environment is expected. Significant financial resources and dedicated laboratory space are associated with this faculty position. The appointee will have access to state-of-the-art facilities including laboratories for trace organics and metals, heavy and light stable isotopes, applied molecular genetics and genomics/proteomics, toxicology, fish husbandry, GIS, computational simulation modeling, analytical and aqueous geochemistry and microscopy. In addition, a recently successful large infrastructure grant has established new facilities for advanced field and lab research, with particular focus on environmental stressors in the Great Lakes under the broad themes of biogeochemical function, genomics/proteomics and ecosystem tracers.

Applications will include:

• a letter of application, including a statement of citizenship/immigration status;
• a detailed and current curriculum vitae;
• a two (2) page outline of research interests; and
• the names of three referees.

The short-listed candidates may be invited to provide further information in support of their applications. To ensure full consideration, complete an online application by the deadline date of May 19, 2014.

Reference Letters to be sent to:
Dr. Daniel Heath, Director
Great Lakes Institute for Environmental Research, University of Windsor
401 Sunset Avenue, Windsor, Ontario N9B 3P4

New CRC Chair - Professor Jeremy Rawson

The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry welcomes its newest member - Jeremy Rawson - who takes the post of Canada Research Chair in Inorganic and Molecular Materials. Prof. Rawson comes to us from Cambridge University, where he was a Senior Lecturer. One of his inspirations for applying for this position at Windsor was Prof. Dennis Tuck, a senior inorganic chemist in our department who passed away in 2003. To read more about this, click here. Also, please visit Prof. Rawson's profile page.

New biochem faculty members

Marlys Koschinsky and Michael Boffa join the department...

This past summer, two new faculty members with expertise in Biochemistry joined the Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry:

• Marlys Koschinsky has come to the University of Windsor from Queens University as the new Dean of Science, and will be heading up a research program focusing on the use of molecular biology, protein chemistry, cell biology, and proteomic techniques for the study of the relationships between structure and function in the apolipoprotein apo(a).
  
• Michael Boffa also joins us from Queens' University. His research focuses on the protein TAFI (thrombin-activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor) and its function as a novel mediator of the balance between coagulation and fibrinolysis.
  

Welcome to the department!
