Experience the world of chemistry with expert faculty
covering analytical, biochemistry, inorganic, organic, physical, polymer and
several interdisciplinary fields. We are proud to be an American Chemical
Society (ACS) certified department. This certification ensures that students
will receive a fundamental and professionally recognized chemical education,
which is an excellent preparation for numerous occupations as well as for
graduate or professional schools. Our department strives for excellence in both
the undergraduate and graduate educational experiences. Our world-class faculty
are recipients of numerous regional, national and international awards and
provide leadership in scholarship and research in a variety of areas such as
precise molecular structure design using synthetic methodology, mechanistic
studies of heterogeneous reactions, atmospheric and oceanic chemistry,
organometallic catalysis, bioinorganic chemistry, computational chemistry,
physical chemistry and biophysical methods. The department prides itself with
close faculty-student interactions. Both undergraduate and graduate students
get hands-on contact and experience with modern instrumentation, such as IR,
UV-Visible, ICP, AA, GC-MS, LC, PCR and NMR. Modern instruments and an enthusiastic
faculty provide for a challenging educational environment. As the “central
science”, the chemistry department provides diverse opportunities for
collaborative studies with the departments of biology, physics, chemical and
mechanical engineering, environmental sciences, and computer science on campus
and with other off campus institutions to provide students with a strong
interdisciplinary training.
Chemistry is a fundamental science. At the undergraduate
level, the chemistry department offers curricula in traditional chemistry,
pre-medical, and pre-pharmacy studies. We also offer dual degree programs with
Chemical Engineering and Biology. Our program provides flexibility and
selection to meet individual student needs and aspirations. You can choose to
pursue a BS degree that is certified by the ACS, a non ACS-certified degree, or
an Honors degree. Besides your course study, you will be able to participate in
undergraduate research projects under the guidance of our motivated research
community. Students may opt to pursue a research project in experimental and/or
computer-based computational endeavors. Undergraduate research can lead to
publication of results in a professional journal as well as invited
presentations at regional or national scientific (e.g. ACS) meetings.
Graduation opens opportunities for entrance into graduate or medical school,
and health-related fields as well as entrance into industrial, private and
government sector careers.
At the graduate level, the department offers unique
opportunities to get an M. S. degree in Industrial Chemistry or a joint Ph.D.
program in Earth and Energy Sciences (EESC), with a chemistry concentration.
Students in the EESC program study a variety of interesting interdisciplinary
graduate courses in addition to a core curriculum and advanced courses in their
major concentration. Students in Industrial Chemistry can pursue a thesis or
non-thesis MS degree option with an internship. The heart of the graduate
degree is research. The research facilities and collaborative environments are
a strong base to enable the highest level of innovation. The department
provides students with the technical skills they would acquire in the
traditional MS and Ph.D. programs, while also developing skills indispensable
in industry and in academia, such as leadership, oral and written
communication, teamwork, defining & managing research projects,
organizational skills, curiosity and independence.
Qualifications:
Minimum
qualifications are a master’s degree in a relevant field of chemistry.
Preference will be given to individuals with considerable teaching experience
or a doctorate degree. Required application components include a: cover letter,
curriculum vitae, statement of teaching interests, and a diversity statement
describing a commitment to fostering a diverse educational environment through
their research, teaching, and/or service activities. While this position does
