Introduction to Chemistry Research

An experimental or theoretical research problem under the supervision of a tenure-stream or teaching stream faculty member in the Department of Chemistry or a closely-affiliated department. Five mandatory 90-minute professional development workshops cover aspects of academic writing, poster presentations, reading chemical literature, job applications/interviews, and science communication. Applications for enrolment should be made to the Departmental Undergraduate Office in the preceding Winter Session: the application form is available at the Department of Chemistry website. Only admitted students must contact faculty to discuss available research projects. Projects are typically offered in the areas of environmental, analytical, physical/theoretical, inorganic, materials/polymers, organic and biological chemistry. Not eligible for CR/NCR option.
