Postdoctoral researchers

There are openings for qualified, motivated postdoctoral researchers with experience in synthetic organic chemistry and/or polymer chemistry. Please send Julia a single PDF file with the following:

1. A cover letter indicating your research interests and motivation for joining the group, and including contact information for 3 references
2. A current CV including a complete list of publications
3. A 2-page summary of research accomplishments
4. Reprints of your most significant publication(s) to date (up to 3)

The Kalow lab also welcomes postdoctoral applicants through the CSP’s postdoctoral fellowship program. The deadline for applications is in the fall.

Graduate students

Prospective graduate students interested in gaining interdisciplinary training in reaction discovery, mechanistic analysis, polymer synthesis, and materials characterization in the dynamic environment of a new lab should apply to the Northwestern Department of Chemistry graduate program. 

Undergraduate students

Northwestern chemistry majors who have completed the CHEM 210 or 212 sequence and are interested in gaining research experience should contact Julia.

Undergraduates outside Northwestern should apply to one of the following programs and list Prof. Kalow’s lab in their research interests:

• The Graduate School’s Summer Research Opportunity Program
• International Institute for Nanotechnology REU
• MRSEC REU
• Center for Sustainable Polymers REU
