Research In The Chemistry And Biochemistry Department
Are you interested in doing research in Chemistry and Biochemistry? Some great ways to learn more about research in the department is to attend the annual Science Poster Session in the fall, read the posters in the hallway, or read the faculty research links. You should let a faculty member (with availability listed below) know that you are interested as soon as possible to join a lab on campus. If you have an interest in participating in research, you can email the faculty member to set up a meeting to discuss their research.
Academic Year Research
Academic Year Research
Students can do research with a faculty during the academic year (Fall or Spring Terms) for credit (either 0.25, 0.5, or 1 credit). Each amount of credit has different expectations for time invested by the student. Students present their research at the end of the semester in the form of a poster. Individual faculty member may have additional requirements so that you should talk to them individually about the what they expect. Typically a student should have at least one course in the subspecialty of the faculty member before requesting a research position.
Winter Term Research
Winter Term Research
Another possibility for doing research with a faculty member is to work full time in the laboratory for Winter Term credit as a supervised internship.
Summer Research Internship
Summer Research Internship
An excellent way to get an in depth research experience is to work with a faculty member full time over the summer. There are several ways to apply for these opportunities:
1. Student Faculty Summer Research Internship: During the spring semester (March 1) students and faculty can apply together for research to fund a student for a summer internship (usually 8-10 weeks). In order for students to make use of this option, they should contact a faculty member by the end of the Fall term or Winter Term and show their interest in this program. Each faculty member may have different requirements for participation in a summer research project. Faculty taking students for the summer of 2018 will be listed by the beginning of Spring Term, but we highly encourage students to contact individual faculty members before that!

2. Science Research Fellows Program: If you are a member of the SRF program, you are guaranteed a summer research experience the summer after you sophomore year. The deadline for lateral entry is in late October for first year students and Feb 1 for prospective students. Students in this program choose between faculty members who have submitted research projects to the SRF program.
