THE CARSCH GROUP

Graduate Students – We are actively recruiting motivated graduate students of all backgrounds, drawing upon core concepts in chemistry, materials science, and chemical engineering. All students will receive an expansive world-class training in synthetic organic and inorganic chemistry, as well as training in a range of analytical techniques such as spectroscopy, sorption, microscopy, and diffraction. Our central focuses include (1) addressing the efficient design of complex molecules, (2) improving processability of functional materials, and (3) and the design of fundamentally new sorbents to address climate change and abate increasing levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Prospective graduate students to the Department of Chemistry at UT Austin are strongly encouraged to reach out via email prior to submission of an application.
​​
Postdoctoral Researchers – We are actively recruiting several postdoctoral fellows to join our growing research program. Interested candidates are encouraged to contact Kurtis (kcarsch@utexas.edu) with a CV, a brief cover letter, a 1–2 page summary of prior research, and the names of two references who can provide letters of support upon request. Prospective applicants are welcome to reach out in advance to discuss current research directions and alignment with their career goals. We are seeking candidates across all areas relevant to our program, and a particular interest will be given to those with expertise and interests in molecular synthetic inorganic chemistry.
​
Undergraduate Students, High School Students, & Visiting Scholars – We are actively recruiting high school students, undergraduate students, and visiting scholars. Please reach out to Kurtis with a brief biosketch and/or CV, and please provide a few sentences on what interests you about scientific research.
