Available projects for undergraduates in the School of Chemistry and Biochemistry

There are many opportunities for undergraduates to perform research in one of our School’s research groups. However, it sometimes takes a considerable amount of effort and time to find a project that is a good fit.  We will keep the list of positions on the School's website as up-to-date as possible.  The link to the list is below.

If you would like to be considered for one of these projects, please contact Dr. Kimberly Schurmeier the Undergraduate Research Coordinator.  Please email a brief note describing why you would like to work on the project along with a resume/transcript.
