Ph.D Assistantships in Chemistry and Biochemistry
The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry
http://www.sdstate.edu/chem/ at South Dakota State University
http://www.sdstate.edu/
offers the Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) and Master of Science (M.S.)
degrees in chemistry with tracks in chemistry and biochemistry.
Students can be admitted into the program with either a bachelor’s or
master’s degree in chemistry or biochemistry. Because many research
projects are inter-disciplinary or trans-disciplinary in nature,
students with prior training in areas such as biology, environmental
science, geology, mathematics or physics are strongly encouraged to
apply for admission.
Research Programs
The Department’s graduate research programs fall into three thematic
interdisciplinary focus areas: biochemistry with an emphasis on
biophotonics/biophysical chemistry, environmental chemistry,
geochemistry and green chemistry, and chemical education. Within these
interdisciplinary focus areas, students can select research projects
within the traditional subdisciplines of chemistry; analytical,
biochemistry, inorganic, organic and physical.
Currently active research groups are in drug discovery and delivery,
organic synthesis, materials chemistry and self-assembly,
chromatography, cell signaling, environmental chemistry of organic
contaminants, chemistry of climate change, photochemistry, natural
products chemistry, biosensor development, biophysical chemistry,
computational chemistry, and solid-state
NMR.

Research Instrumentation
The Department is equipped with modern core instrumentation facilities
to support its research program including the Core campus
NMR facility, Core campus mass spectrometry facility and Core campus proteomics facility.
All students admitted to the program receive an assistantship and tuition support.
