research are the primary selection criteria for a search in these broad areas of chemistry:
organic, inorganic, experimental physical, and biological. Emphasis will be placed on candidates
whose research interests complement the already existing strengths of the department and
Rice University in the focus areas of materials, life sciences, energy, and nanotechnology.
