We are always looking for curious and motivated students with an interest in applying their fundamental chemistry knowledge to understanding our atmosphere and its connections to the ocean and cryosphere. We aim to recruit students with a wide range of backgrounds, and look for students who are thoughtful, proactive communicators, willing to tackle new challenges, and are curious about programming and data analysis.

Prospective graduate students are encouraged to apply to the CSU Department of Chemistry, and to reach out to Chemistry faculty to discuss their interests.
