A chemistry professor begins their day preparing and delivering lectures on topics such as organic chemistry and analytical methods to undergraduate or graduate students. They supervise laboratory work where students conduct hands-on experiments, ensuring safety protocols and proper technique. Throughout the week, they evaluate student performance through grading class work, laboratory reports, and examinations. They maintain regular office hours to advise students on academic matters and guide classroom discussions. Additionally, they develop course materials including syllabi and assignments, while staying current with advances in chemical research and education methodology.
Individuals who excel as chemistry teachers possess strong investigative and social personality traits (RIASEC I:5.82, S:5.71), combining scientific curiosity with interpersonal skills. They demonstrate exceptional dependability (importance 7.0) and attention to detail (importance 6.0), critical for both laboratory safety and accurate instruction. These professionals have outstanding oral and written expression abilities (levels 5.5 and 5.0 respectively) enabling clear communication of complex chemical concepts. They exhibit intellectual curiosity and enjoy continuous learning, as evidenced by their active learning skills (importance 4.0) and need to update knowledge regularly.
This role shows strong resistance to automation due to its emphasis on training and teaching others (importance 4.7) and interpreting information for students (importance 4.1). The combination of complex laboratory supervision, student mentoring, and adaptive curriculum development requires human judgment and interpersonal skills that current AI cannot replicate effectively.

--- PROSE FIELDS ---
ROLE SUMMARY:
Chemistry Teachers, Postsecondary are academic professionals who teach undergraduate and graduate courses on chemical and physical properties of substances, compositional changes, and analytical methods. They combine deep expertise in chemistry (knowledge level 6.2) with advanced teaching skills (activity importance 4.7) to educate the next generation of scientists. These educators typically hold advanced degrees and engage in both instruction and research activities within higher education institutions.
DAY IN THE LIFE:
A chemistry professor begins their day preparing and delivering lectures on topics such as organic chemistry and analytical methods to undergraduate or graduate students. They supervise laboratory work where students conduct hands-on experiments, ensuring safety protocols and proper technique. Throughout the week, they evaluate student performance through grading class work, laboratory reports, and examinations. They maintain regular office hours to advise students on academic matters and guide classroom discussions. Additionally, they develop course materials including syllabi and assignments, while staying current with advances in chemical research and education methodology.
WHO THRIVES:
Individuals who excel as chemistry teachers possess strong investigative and social personality traits (RIASEC I:5.82, S:5.71), combining scientific curiosity with interpersonal skills. They demonstrate exceptional dependability (importance 7.0) and attention to detail (importance 6.0), critical for both laboratory safety and accurate instruction. These professionals have outstanding oral and written expression abilities (levels 5.5 and 5.0 respectively) enabling clear communication of complex chemical concepts. They exhibit intellectual curiosity and enjoy continuous learning, as evidenced by their active learning skills (importance 4.0) and need to update knowledge regularly.
CAREER ENTRY:
Entry requires extensive preparation (Job Zone 5) with 91.9% holding graduate degrees - 35.3% have Master's degrees, 31.4% post-doctoral training, and 25.2% doctoral degrees. Candidates typically need a strong foundation in chemistry, mathematics, and education, as demonstrated by the high knowledge requirements in these areas. Many begin as teaching assistants during graduate school, gaining experience in instruction and laboratory supervision before advancing to faculty positions.
CAREER TRAJECTORY:
Chemistry teachers can advance from adjunct instructors to assistant professors, then associate professors, and ultimately full professors with tenure. Career progression often involves increased research responsibilities, administrative duties, and leadership roles within academic departments. Some may transition to industry positions as chemists or biochemists, leveraging their deep scientific knowledge and analytical skills for research and development roles.
MARKET INTELLIGENCE:
The field employs 19,980 professionals nationwide with a median annual salary of $93,250 according to BLS OEWS May 2025, ranging from $57,870 to $172,110. Geographic variation is significant, with California offering the highest wages at $132,960 compared to Oklahoma's $64,450 - a 2.06x difference. Nearly all employment (19,950 positions) occurs within educational services, reflecting the specialized academic nature of the role. The concentration in higher education institutions provides job stability but limits geographic mobility compared to industry-based chemistry careers.
AUTOMATION OUTLOOK:
This role shows strong resistance to automation due to its emphasis on training and teaching others (importance 4.7) and interpreting information for students (importance 4.1). The combination of complex laboratory supervision, student mentoring, and adaptive curriculum development requires human judgment and interpersonal skills that current AI cannot replicate effectively.
