Prospective Group Members

Graduate students:

Prospective grad students first need to apply through the chemistry graduate program at MSU. Click here for more info.

Undergraduate students:

Undergraduate students at all levels are welcome. No prior research experience is necessary, only an enthusiasm for chemistry and synthesis and a strong work ethic. Students who have taken or are currently taking organic chemistry may be given priority, but this is not an absolute requirement. Note: Unfortunately, we do not currently expect to have space for additional new undergraduate researchers for the Fall 2023 or Spring 2024 semesters. However, students interested in undergraduate research in Summer 2024 or beyond are encouraged to get in touch early! In particular, we usually have space and funding for several paid research positions in the summer.

Postdoc applicants:

We do not currently have funding for an additional postdoctoral researcher, however interested candidates may still get in touch by sending their CV and cover letter to Dr. Creutz, and may be contacted if funding becomes available. I also welcome the opportunity to support postdoc candidates in any relevant fellowship applications.
