Position : Subject Matter Expert – Chemistry | Grades 9–12
Role Summary :
The Chemistry Subject Matter Expert will provide academic and disciplinary leadership in the design, development, review, and continuous refinement of the Chemistry curriculum for Grades 9–12. The role requires deep subject expertise and a sophisticated understanding of how students progressively develop chemical reasoning, conceptual understanding, quantitative skills, experimental competence, and scientific thinking.

The SME will ensure that curriculum, pedagogy, resources, practical work, and assessment collectively uphold high academic standards, conceptual coherence, scientific rigour, and alignment with the CBSE framework.

Curriculum Architecture :
• Lead the development and review of Chemistry curriculum frameworks, learning outcomes, scope and sequence, and progression across Grades 9–12.

• Establish a coherent progression from foundational concepts to the greater abstraction, mathematical demand, and disciplinary depth expected at the senior secondary level.

• Identify essential concepts,



disciplinary knowledge, skills, and threshold ideas that students must develop at each stage.

• Ensure solid conceptual continuity across physical, inorganic, and organic Chemistry.

• Align curriculum with CBSE expectations, competencies, practical requirements, and assessment frameworks.

Academic & Disciplinary Rigor :
• Ensure chemical accuracy, conceptual precision, quantitative rigour, and appropriate academic depth across all curriculum materials.

• Develop students' ability to interpret chemical phenomena through models, representations, equations, structures, mechanisms, data, and evidence.

• Build deep understanding of fundamental ideas including atomic structure, bonding, stoichiometry, thermodynamics, equilibrium, kinetics, electrochemistry, periodicity, organic reactions, and chemical systems.

• Identify and address common misconceptions and conceptual barriers in Chemistry.
