The KU Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry has had an active summer undergraduate research program for close to 50 years. This 10-week program has been a valuable experience for undergraduate students who are considering a research career in chemical, biological or pharmaceutical sciences. Many graduates of the program have gone on to pursue graduate degrees and now have a fulfilling research career.
Students should preferably be juniors, although we will consider applications from outstanding sophomores if they have completed organic chemistry prior to the start of the summer research program. Competitive stipends will be offered plus room and board.
