Research Opportunities
Chemistry Research Application: Positions starting Spring/Fall/Winter 2025
In response to feedback from the department’s Student Advisory Council, the Chemistry Department is continuing a new application process for coordinating student research opportunities. Our goal is to increase equity and transparency within the process. We anticipate that the number of you who are eager to participate in research dramatically exceeds the current capacity in our labs, but please be assured that we are doing our very best to provide as many students with research opportunities as possible.
The first step in seeking a research position is to complete the linked form. Your responses will give us a chance to review your interests and preparation. We will review applications and meet collectively as a department to match students with faculty members who have open positions. To assist you in the process of identifying potential faculty members who you may be interested in doing research with, faculty who *may* have research positions available have posted 2-slide snapshot about work in their lab.
Check out a summary of faculty work in labs with positions available here: PDF of research position descriptions
You will need to log into your Middlebury account to access the PDF.
Key dates:
- Friday, February 14th - Application opens (https://forms.gle/fNRYSYZc7qapry7d6)
- Monday, February 24th - Application deadline
We will be in touch about the status of your application within 2-4 weeks after the deadline.
If you have any general questions about the application process, please contact department chair Prof. Molly Costanza-Robinson (mcostanz@middlebury.edu)
Research Opportunities at Middlebury
Our faculty have funding available for students to work as a research assistant during the summer. Please talk to any of the faculty to find out what opportunities are available for next summer.
*Disclaimer: We try our best to keep research opportunities up-to-date, your patience is appreciated.
