Dear postdocs
PLEASE respond the survey below.
By popular demand, I offered you all to teach the Chem243 (Quantum Dynamics)
course in a group-fashion (a month each, for a maximum of fourth postdocs).
Two will be officially appointed as instructors, one as teaching fellow and
one would not be appointed. All of this is official, as your salaries would
remain the same, as well as your responsibilities. I need four, as last time
(when we taught 242) as I don't want to take away too much from research.
The course is about "Quantum dynamics" in general, and I propose "Quantum
dynamics in condensed phases" as a theme, but we can also go over
spectroscopy, etc. a-la-Nitzan, Breuer, Schatz and Ratner, etc.
I give priority to postdocs that have not taught before, but feel free to
sign up if you have taught and want to repeat. Last time, Semion, Dmitrji,
Roel and Cesar taught. This time, hopefully is four new people, each one
teaching a month (8 lectures) and helping grade homeworks, make exams,
office hours, etc. amongst the 4 postdocs.
I also plan to ask for a Computational chemistry course in the Fall, so if
you are interested, please tell me your interests there. On the same deal.
I will pick the 2 listed as 'instructors' (which doesn't matter at all)
and
the one that would be TF will work the same, but will receive part of
his/her regular compensation by the department, instead of me.
*Here are more instructions
*
Please tell me your teaching preferences (if any). This is an optional
opportunity that I give people to help the department fill teaching needs
while you get a 'teaching at Harvard' under your belt opportunity. The
course is graduate students (10-20) from many departments, meeting twice a
week for 1.30 hrs. You would be respnsible for the sessions associated with
a month.
The spreadsheet is below

Again, this is *OPTIONAL* to help yourselves and the department, no problem
if we don't find candidates. If you are not intersted, please STILL ANSWER
the form ASAP.
