Join our research team! 

There are two options to conduct research:

• Summer Research: You can apply for summer research at the end of winter term. Both paid and volunteer positions are typically available for eight weeks of summer research.

• Academic Credit: If you want to conduct research during the school year, you can enroll for credit in a course such as CHEM 295 or CHEM 495 Research. To receive 1 credit, you will conduct 3 hours of lab per week and write up your results at the end of the semester.
