University of Rochester Chemistry Department

University of Rochester Chemistry Department The Chemistry Department at the University of Rochester strives to attract the best and brightest sc and B.A. degrees in chemistry and Ph.D.

From the University’s founding in 1850 until the present day, the study of chemistry at Rochester has prospered, providing outstanding opportunities for undergraduates, graduate students, postdoctoral associates, and faculty to undertake and accomplish significant research, and engage in excellent educational programs leading to the B.S. studies in chemistry and allied fields. The Department's pro

gram presents unrivaled opportunities for education and research in the traditional fields of analytical, biological, inorganic, organic, materials and physical chemistry, as well as a variety of interdisciplinary areas. Faculty expertise spans virtually all areas of modern chemical research and related fields. The department is organized according to the research cluster model, emphasizing interdisciplinary research uniquely available at a relatively small research university such as UR. The reputation for excellence in our department is recognized locally and nationally by funding agencies and corporate research sponsors. Our faculty continues to grow in stature and collectively have been the recipients of more than 45 national and University awards for research and teaching in the last five years. Approximately 95 graduate students are enrolled in our doctoral program each year. Our total research effort is further augmented by approximately thirty senior research scientists and postdoctoral fellows, assisted by experienced and dedicated scientific/technical and administrative staff. Our research infrastructure ranks among the very best in the nation with all of the state-of-the-art instrumentation necessary for the study of modern chemistry. We strive to attract the best and brightest scholars while maintaining a supportive, collegial and friendly community, one of the defining characteristics of the Department of Chemistry and the University of Rochester.
