Join Us

The Hematian research group is looking for enthusiastic and motivated postdocs, graduate, and undergraduate students interested in bioinorganic chemistry, synthetic inorganic chemistry, biochemical or chemical catalysis, environmental chemistry, or electrochemistry. Inquiries about possible positions in the group are welcome.

Postdoctoral Scientists

We are hiring two postdoctoral researchers! One will be working on an NIH-funded project on a new class of O2-utilizing copper enzymes and the other on a DOE-funded project focusing on bio-inspired electrolyte materials for redox flow batteries. Applicants are encouraged to submit applications through the following links: 

https://spartantalent.uncg.edu/postings/26887 (Copper Enzymology) 

https://spartantalent.uncg.edu/postings/26888 (Energy Storage)

Applicants must have completed a PhD in Chemistry, or a related discipline such as Biochemistry, Materials Science, and Chemical Engineering. For more details, please see the position postings. 

Graduate Students

The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry has graduate programs for students interested in either the Ph.D. or M.S. degrees, and more details can be found on the Department’s webpage. If you are accepted into the program, you will be required to interview several members of the faculty during your first semester in search of a good fit, both for the professor’s needs and your own research interest and goals. Please feel free to contact us by email if you are interested in joining our research group or have any questions about our lab or the Department.

Undergraduate Students

The Hematian research group is always looking for enthusiastic undergraduate students to join the lab. Preference will be given to students who can make a long term commitment to research and have demonstrated strong performance in chemistry coursework, specifically in inorganic chemistry. All students participating in research are also expected to participate in weekly group meetings. If you are interested in joining our group, send us an email describing why you are interested in doing research in our group. Also, include some information about your career plans and academic standing at UNCG. You can find some helpful information on undergraduate research here. 

High School Students & Community College Students

We have a strong commitment to mentoring and training students from every level of education to become exceptional researchers, with a particular desire to increase diversity and inclusion in the sciences. To this end, we provide research opportunities for students at the very early stages of their academic lives including early introduction to research at the high school and Community College levels. If you are interested in joining our lab, please contact us by email describing your future goals, chemistry background, and why you are interested in joining our research team.
