Chemistry Summer Undergraduate Research Program

(CSURP)

WE ARE ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS

The CCHF Chemistry Summer Undergraduate Research Program (CSURP) provides an opportunity for undergraduate students with a strong interest in the chemical sciences to conduct supervised research with a faculty mentor, postdoctoral scientist, and or graduate student within one of the CCHF 26 partner research labs across the country. CSURP Fellows participate in all phases of the research process, from data collection and analysis to communicating the results in written and oral form. Seminars, workshops, career planning sessions and other professional development opportunities are also available. Fellows receive a competitive stipend, housing or housing allowance, and interact with prominent leaders in chemical sciences related fields.

Students from underrepresented groups in chemistry are strongly encouraged to apply.

No prior research experience is required.

Application Deadline: February 8, 2016

About the CCHF

The Center for Selective C-H Functionalization (CCHF) is an NSF supported Center for Chemical Innovation that aims to bring about a paradigm shift in the logic and teaching of chemical synthesis, by developing broad synthetic strategies that rely on selective functionalization of traditionally “unactivated” C-H bonds.

Through its network of 15 partnering institutions and dozens of researchers across the country and abroad, the CCHF is breaking new ground and making significant contributions in new chemical innovation and discovery. The Center’s more efficient, cost effective, and cleaner synthetic strategies are poised to have major broader impacts, particularly on sustainable materials development and in providing greater medicinal options to the public.

The CCHF provides a unique opportunity for undergraduate students, graduate students, postdocs, and visiting faculty to engage in cutting edge chemical research, receive advanced training, and publish with world recognized, leading researchers within the CCHF network.
