    2. LOL! It's a trap! They want a Ph.D. in Inorganic to teach organic...at first! I mean they've taken organic classes, right? Then after you've been there for a bit they will ask you to teach Inorganic...BOOM! Two birds with one stone! LOL!

    3. The first time I read it I thought it might say "Ph.D. Inorganic Chemistry..."

      Maybe that's what they meant and they forgot a space?
