As a trainee of the Evans Research Group (ERG), you will become familiar with multiple high-impact fields of research, while developing a strong foundation in organic synthesis and macromolecule characterization. There will be many opportunities to lead research projects, as well as collaborate with external groups and departments. These experiences will culminate in a successful published record of interdisciplinary academic work. Trainees will also become proficient in scientific writing by developing scientific manuscripts, reviewing articles, and preparing grants and patents. These experiences will benefit your development as a scientist and set you up for success in your post-graduation goals.
Undergraduate student research is an outstanding experience and is a critical component for students interested in medical school or graduate school in the physical sciences. Interested students should email a resume to Professor Evans and see the University of Florida Undergraduate Research Center page for introductory questions and funding opportunities.
Graduate students interested in joining the Evans Research Group should apply to the Graduate Program in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Florida.
