The day before my departure to Europe I had an interview at Concordia University at the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry for a teaching position. I am very much interested in doing some more teaching, because after 3 years of research I would like to build and improve my teaching portfolio. Moreover, I have enjoyed teaching at a university level very much in the past (at McGill in spring 2006 and this spring at Concordia).\u00c2\u00a0The interview went well and was conducted in a very pleasant manner. After lunch with faculty members, I gave a teaching lecture to faculty, PhD and Master students, which was very well received. It was followed by an interview with the search committee and individual faculty members. I had the possibility to ask questions and bring in my own views and ideas. I have also received feedback on the teaching lecture; very instructive.\u00c2\u00a0I was quite tired afterwards – after a 6 hour visit and questions (and a lot of preparation time before – for the course, the interview and my trip). I am definitely ready to go to Europe, although not much of a holiday waits there – my first talk is on Friday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
