Research Assistantship Positions (PhD, MS, MSEE, or MSPh level) for 2012/2013

Students with an undergraduate degree in chemistry, environmental sciences, or engineering with some chemistry background are welcome to join the Weinberg research group for their graduate studies. We are now interviewing candidates for the academic year beginning August 2012 at both the Masters level (MS, MSPh, or MSEE) and PhD track with an interest in the research projects described on these webpages. Research Assistantships support students on focused research projects with monthly stipends and payment of tuition while Teaching Assistantships provide a balance of laboratory management and research with the same benefits. A limited number of scholarships are also available for the most highly qualified among all candidates. Your application must be received by January 20, 2012 to be considered for these. Finally, National Science Foundation and US EPA STAR Fellowship applications are usually due by October of the year before you begin your graduate studies. If you feel you are competitive for these awards (or other national or international Fellowships) please make initial contact with me at least 3 months before the due date so that we can initiate discussions. In most cases you have to be admitted to our graduate program before you can apply for these fellowships and so we will want to expedite that process. Note that all these assistantships and awards are highly competitive. Please contact Howard Weinberg if you would like to discuss these opportunities further.

I am also prepared to consider students who are self-funded for a 1 year Masters degree that will provide considerable financial savings to them. Please initiate contact with me as soon as you are thinking of this as an option for you. If you are admissible to our graduate program and have career interests that I can provide guidance and work experience towards, then I can provide a research project for a limited number of Masters level students each year that could begin the summer before their first academic semester and be completed during the following summer.
