We are also seeking Postdoctoral Research Associates (1).

For postdoctoral applicants, a strong background in materials science, chemistry, polymer science, or a related field is required, with experience in multi-step organic synthesis, polymer synthesis (controlled polymerization is a must), and characterization. Please send us your CV and letters of recommendation (jimmylawrence@lsu.edu), and apply here.

For Undergraduate students.

If you are interested to carry out undergraduate research with us, please send an email to Dr. Lawrence along with your resume, unofficial transcript, and a brief cover letter summarizing your research interests, semester(s) you would like to work, and hours per week you would like to work. We are most interested in undergraduate researchers who can work for multiple semesters in the lab. Substantial hands-on lab experience will allow for meaningful training, effective mentoring, and major contributions to the team.
