The fellowships are for Chemistry and BCMB declared or prospective majors who plan to work on research projects of faculty listed as members of the Carlson School of Chemistry and Biochemistry (including adjuncts). A list of faculty and projects is available on the Clark departmental web pages. A GPA of 3.0 is normally required.  While preference is normally given to juniors, in the past, several first and second year students have received fellowships, so all are encouraged to apply.  Address questions to Professor Sharon Huo.

To apply:

1. Find a faculty sponsor (you are encouraged to speak with several faculty) who agrees to mentor a summer project.
2. Write a short description of the proposed research (not more than 2 pages).
3. Send your proposal description with an unofficial copy of your academic transcript, by e-mail (only), to chemistry@clarku.edu with the subject “summer research fellowship”.

Application deadline is March 15, 2023 (4:00 p.m.)

Some students with projects related to brain biochemistry may also be eligible for Beavers awards, in which case a single application may be made to cover both.  Some BCMB majors may also be eligible for awards offered by the Biology Department (which they will announce).  Occasionally, other majors doing research with Carlson School of Chemistry and Biochemistry faculty (but not adjuncts) may be eligible for these fellowships, but preference is normally given to Chemistry and BCMB majors.

Applications are invited for a post-doctoral research associate position in the Nag Research Laboratory at Clark University in Worcester, Massachusetts, funded by the National Science Foundation, to work on the development of peptide and peptidomimetic scaffolds for the sensing of phosphate-containing metabolites. The successful candidate will collaborate with an interdisciplinary group at Clark, leveraging our central location in the vibrant collaborative research environment in New England. Career advancement training and opportunities to gain experience mentoring students will be provided. More information on the group, publications, and current areas of interest can be found here:  https://anag-lab.com/lab-news.

A Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry or related fields is required. Prior research experience with bioorganic chemistry and fluorescence studies is preferred. The initial appointment will be for one year, which can be renewed based on progress. Interested applicants should email their CV, research statement, and contact information for three references to anag@clarku.edu.

Applications will be reviewed as soon as they are received and will continue until the position is filled. This is a full-time position, and benefits include health insurance and more. Clark University is an equal opportunity employer and strongly encourages members from historically underrepresented communities — inclusive of all women — to apply.
