Applicants with a degree in marine chemistry or a related marine science field are invited to apply. The successful candidate will be expected to teach introductory marine science, an upper-level marine chemistry lecture and laboratory, as well as upper-level undergraduate and graduate courses within the applicant's area of expertise. Specifically, an aquatic chemist is sought with expertise in environmental and/or organic pollutants integrating field and laboratory methods. Applicants with research programs focused on applied environmental issues in the coastal zone are particularly encouraged. The new faculty member is expected to develop a viable externally funded research program actively involving undergraduate and graduate students.

The University vessel fleet that supports teaching and research ranges from small skiffs to a 50-ft. aluminum vessel with an A-frame. The Gupta College of Science also includes an emerging engineering program and the Burroughs and Chapin Center for Marine and Wetland Studies that offer the potential for collaboration with faculty engaged in related issues. The University manages the Anne Tilghman Boyce Coastal Reserve, an undeveloped complex of ocean frontage, fresh and saltwater marshes, tidal creeks, and upland woods on Waties Island that provides teaching and research opportunities.
