2022 Research Opportunities at Carleton
Though we of course are not certain that public health considerations will allow on-campus research to proceed this summer, as of now we hope that we will be able to offer research opportunities to students in the chemistry faculty members’ laboratories. With that in mind, we have put together a document and a presentation with additional details regarding what our plans for on-campus research at Carleton will look like this summer and how to apply. View a recording of the brief presentation about summer research from Friday, January 14. The video covers some basic information about research in the department and each faculty member who is taking students provides a brief description of their lab’s research. Enjoy!
More information about the research opportunities available this summer can be found in the Department’s Summer Research Document and in the video descriptions below
