The Ultimate Ph.D. Experience
We have the resources to help you become an independent scientist and launch a successful career. Our program has over 200 graduate students engaging in research across six areas of study: analytical, chemical biology, inorganic, organic, physical, and chemical physics. We encourage and support graduate research that transcends traditional academic boundaries by bringing together faculty from departments across campus, including the School of Medicine, College of Engineering, College of Biological Sciences and the Genome Center.
Students pursuing their Ph.D. receive a competitive salary, tuition and fees paid for and comprehensive health insurance. All applications are also considered for merit-based fellowships with admission.
A Framework for Diversity
We actively recruit graduate students with a variety of personal experiences, values, and worldviews. Women comprise over 40% of graduate students in our department and over 20% of our faculty. We are also committed to providing additional financial support and mentoring to underrepresented minorities and students with disabilities beginning their doctoral studies.
