研究

The 化学系 offers exceptional opportunities year-round for students, at both undergraduate and graduate levels, 参与学院研究.

本科 students that are interested and qualified can participate in faculty research for course credit (CHM 2995/4995/4996) and/or full-time during the summer. Students should feel free to discuss research opportunities with members of the 化学 faculty. If you are interested in research (in the 化学系) and do not know where to start, 考虑填写一份 研究调查问卷 为潜在的研究导师提供建议. Specific arrangements with an individual faculty member must be made before enrollment CHM 2995/4995/4996.

博士研究生.D. and Masters programs have the opportunity to conduct research in any branch of the chemical sciences. 研究 should be discussed with a faculty research advisor of the students’ choice from the list below. Course credit may be earned in CHM 6995/9999.

The 化学系 jointly hosts the Summer 本科 研究 Program (SURP). 研究 fellowships for SURP are available for interested undergraduate students. This paid 10-week research program allows undergraduate students to participate in an authentic research experience in bio化学, 化学, 或者环境科学. 标准课程从5月到7月, with each cohort member giving a short presentation to showcase their results at the close of the program. Additional information and application materials can be found on the 生物医学研究中心网站.

Tuition awards are available each semester to qualified students who elect undergraduate research within the 化学系. The 化学系 has the following awards available to eligible students:

  • 杰基和杰里奖学金
  • 莉莎米. 富林化学奖学金
  • Joel W教授. 罗素化学奖学金
  • The James Morrison Thompson 化学 Scholarship
  • 奥克兰纯水奖学金

要申请,请使用 365英国上市官网奖学金工具. Recipients are chosen by the faculty of the 化学系.
