Chemistry Department Academic Assistance

For any of the jobs in the drop downs below, having taken the associated class is the only requirement to be eligible for the job. For many of these jobs, professors email all eligible students asking for people who are interested. If there's something you want to do, however, don't wait for that email! Go ahead and email the professor teaching the course and let them know you're interested. If you don't know who the right professor to contact is, ask any chemistry professor and they can point you in the right direction. It's best to email at the beginning of the summer (for the fall semester) and in December (for the spring semester). If you don't hear back in 1-2 weeks, follow up! Professors can be busy and miss emails.

The professors for most courses change every year, but Kelly Matz (kelly.matz@gmail.com) and Alberto Lopez (alopez6@haverford.edu) are permanent instructors for 111/112 and 222/225 labs, respectively.

Jobs include:

Peer Tutoring (OAR)

For Chemistry, you can be a peer tutor for CHEM 111, 112, 113, 114, 115, 222, 225, and higher-level courses if needed. You don't have to pick just one class! The only requirement for being eligible is that you have demonstrated mastery of the course content. This typically looks like successful completion of the course.

Applications are accepted on a rolling basis. Priority deadlines are typically in August for the fall semester and December for the spring semester.

Peer tutoring is highly flexible; you can select the hours that you want to tutor, with no minimum and a maximum of 20 total hours of work per week. One tutoring session is an hour, plus 15 minutes of prep time. Tutors also go engage in weekly training with Gabriel Angrand (gangrand@haverford.edu) and/or the head tutors and student training facilitators.

Inventory Work

Description coming soon for inventory work with Ebonee Jackson (ejackson2@haverford.edu). 

Paid Research

From the Chemistry Department Research Page: 

"Certain Chemistry faculty members may employ students as hourly, work-study research assistants in the laboratory during the academic year: this can be helpful if a student is interested in earning supplemental income or in turning a work-study commitment into research laboratory time."

Visit the Research Page for more information on joining a research lab, and then you can talk about this possibility with your research professor.
