We require qualified faculty to teach across the following areas:

• General Chemistry: Atomic and molecular structure, chemical bonding, stoichiometry, and quantities in chemical reactions

• Solutions and Solubility: Concentration calculations, solubility rules, and colligative properties

• Acids, Bases and Equilibrium: pH, buffer systems and their physiological relevance

• Organic Chemistry: Functional groups, reaction types, and organic molecules in biological systems

• Biochemistry Fundamentals: Biomolecules (carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, nucleic acids) and their roles in human health
