Dear selection committee member,
As an educator for many years now, I have been deeply committed to three things 1!
ma"imi#ing individual student performance, 2! spar$ing students% interest in chemistry and science in
general and &! helping students develop analytical thin$ing s$ills that are $ey to success in any field'
(or several years as an assistant professor in chemistry at (ordham )niversity, I have taught
undergraduate chemistry classes *along with the laboratory component! for students in the pre+health
programs in addition to mandatory classes in physical sciences for non+ma,ors' -ince 2010, I have
also been serving as a freshman advisor for first year students with whom I have wor$ed closely on
many aspects of their life at (ordham from the choice of their courses, to evaluating potential career
choices, ta$ing advantages of the tools and resources available to them. I have also served on
numerous committees on the department as well as the college level and for several years have
underta$en the coordination of our college annual research fair where students from all ma,ors
showcase their research wor$ in a college wide even open to the our university population'
I am also leading an active research program in collaboration with /roo$haven 0ational
1aboratories and 2utgers )niversity where undergraduate students are trained in physical science
research wor$' 3ur pro,ects are focused on the design and synthesis of model Donor+/ridge+
Acceptor systems to study electron transfer $inetics as affected by various factors such as the driving
force for the electron transfer reaction, the bridge molecular conformation and the nature and
dynamics of the charged solvents systems'
As a graduate student at 2utgers )niversity, I held special teaching pro,ects at 2utgers and
elsewhere' I was appointed twice as a teaching co+ad,unct where I trained teaching assistants for first
year freshman chemistry laboratories' 1ater, I was appointed as a head teaching assistant for 4eneral
5hemistry wor$ing closely with a group of 20 teaching assistants in their classrooms as well as in
one+on+one meetings to improve their teaching s$ills and methods' My efforts in this capacity were
very well received by the coordinators of the course, 6As and students ali$e and earned me a teaching
pri#e that year' I also served as head of the organic division in a special outreach program for
minorities and financial hardship cases' 6his intensive tutoring program aimed at preparing
underprivileged students to college level education in sciences'
7rior to my years at 2utgers, I served as lecturer in organic chemistry at 8aga#yan )niversity
*/eirut+1ebanon! where I was appointed by the head of the science division to design and teach the
organic chemistry labs' My duties included teaching the labs as well as the lab lectures, designing the
e"periments to be performed, training instructors, as well as ordering material, reagents, lab
e9uipment and preparing stoc$ solutions' At the end of the semester, I had created an organic
chemistry lab and course curriculum that compares to the courses in other universities in the region
and in the )nited -tates'
I am particularly e"cited for the opening in your department and feel that I am uni9uely
9ualified to serve in this capacity' 7lease feel free to contact me at :0; <10 41;1 or via email at
rouba02=yahoo'com if you have any further in9uiries'
6han$ you for your time and consideration' 1oo$ing forward to hearing from you'
-incerely,
2ouba 2ached
