Available Positions
Post-doctoral Researchers. We do not have any available post-doctoral positions at this time.
Ph.D. Students. We are always interested in motivated PhD students. As a matter of Georgetown University Department of Chemistry policy, however, faculty may not formally recruit PhD students directly into their research groups, but rather recruit into the Chemistry PhD program as a whole. Only once accepted into the program are PhD students in a position to join a particular research group, and they may join the group of their choice with consent of the chosen mentor. So, the first step is to apply to the program. Click here to learn more about the application process, our competitive graduate student stipend, faculty research interests, and various aspects of our PhD program, in general. The Holman research group takes on, on average, one-to-two new PhD students each year. If you feel your chances of being accepted into the PhD program are good, and you'd like to initiate a discussion concerning the likelihood of there being an available graduate student position in a given year, feel free to contact Prof. Holman directly.
Undergraduate Students. If you're an undergraduate student majoring and/or interested in Chemistry, there are several opportunities available for getting involved in research. One can participate in research on a volunteer basis (get your feet wet; test the waters), for course credit, or--perhaps a more attractive option--you can be compensated for your efforts, depending on funding opportunities. Georgetown University Chemistry majors can earn a certain amount of course credit for their research activities; students enrolled in the Honors program participate in at least three semesters of research for credit, at least one advanced (graduate level) course and write a formal thesis describing their research project. The Honors program provides invaluable experience. In terms of funding, Georgetown students can participate in the Georgetown Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (GUROP), which offers in-semester and summer fellowship opportunities, along with transcript recognition for your research efforts. The Department of Chemistry at Georgetown also offers a limited number of Adam's Fellowships--the financial equivalent of the summer GUROP fellowships--for full-time summer research. Finally, non-Georgetown students can apply to visit campus for a summer as part of our National Science Foundation (NSF) sponsored Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program. Please contact Prof. Holman if you think you may be interested in joining the team.
