Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Chemistry

University of Wyoming

A doctoral degree in Chemistry can set you on the path to a variety of academic, industrial, and government-based chemistry careers. Graduates from UW chemistry have become faculty at other universities and colleges (e.g. James Madison University, the City University of New York Brooklyn College, Colorado State University-Pueblo), research scientists and process engineers in large research corporations (e.g. Intel), and staff scientists at national laboratories (e.g. Argonne National Laboratory). Graduates have also gone on to work in a variety of companies as research staff, product managers, and sales representatives. Graduates have also become entrepreneurs and launched successful businesses.

Those interested in a research-intensive career often build their skills as postdoctoral research associates, and Ph.D. graduates from the Department of Chemistry have gone on to post-doctoral work at a variety of institutions (e.g. Northwestern University, Columbia University, Los Alamos National Laboratory). The connections built during graduate study at the University of Wyoming can help build any career based in the chemical sciences.
