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.
​​
Postdoctoral Researchers – We are currently recruiting several postdoctoral fellows. Interested candidates should reach out with a CV, a cover letter, a brief summary of prior research, and the ability to provide two letters of support at a later date. All applicants are encouraged to reach out, with priority given to applicants with backgrounds in any of the following research subdisciplines: synthetic inorganic chemistry, molecular electrocatalysis, polymer synthesis and characterization, and exterior modification of porous materials. ​
​
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.
