We are always interested in talented students.  Our program is in rapid
expansion and I think you will find interesting opportunities here.
The Chemistry Department consists of 28 faculty.
https://chem.cst.temple.edu/directory/faculty/

Eight faculty (junior and senior.) were recruited in the last three years.
Recent additions include
Ron Levy             Computational Biophysical Chemistry
Ann Valentine          Inorganic/Biological
Vincent Voelz          Physical/Biological/Computational
William Wuest       Organic/Medicinal/Biological
One of our recent hires, Michael Klein, an expert in molecular simulations,
was elected to the National Academy of Sciences.
One of our most recent additions, John Perdew, is also our second member of
the National Academy of Sciences and one of the world's most cited scientists,
specifically in the field of density functional theory (DFT).  Here at Temple,
Perdew is the founding director of the Center for Materials  Theory, spearheading
collaborative research in materials science.  He also leads
a recently funded DOE EFRC center at Temple.

This past year the department was authorized to recruit up to three new
faculty members, in time for the opening of our 246,000-square-foot
Science Education and Research Center (SERC) in Summer 2014.

We are please to announce that we have been successful in attracting three new colleagues.
Two of them, Sarah Wengryniuk and Graham Dobereiner will start in August 2014

A third new faculty recruit, Katherine Willets who is an expert in plasmonics and
surface Raman spectroscopy, will start in January 2015.
Clearly, Temple is making a major investment in the Sciences and Chemistry in particular.
Temple's Chemistry Department has seen dramatic growth in ultrafast laser science.
Our vibrant photonics community consists of four groups (Borguet, Dai, Levis, Stanley)
using ultrafast lasers and two theory groups (Matsika, Spano) that focus on light-matter interaction.
Additionally, the department has world class research programs in the fields of organic,  inorganic, and
biological chemistry, with foci on drug development,  bioinorganic, nanoscience and materials, and
organometallic and organosilicon chemistry.
Philadelphia, the 5th largest city in the US, is one of the most livable and inexpensive cities on
the East coast.

The Graduate Application Process is described at
https://chem.cst.temple.edu/graduate/apply.html
Admission to the Ph.D. program requires an undergraduate GPA of at least 3.25.  (Waivers can
be granted in some cases.)  TOEFL scores need to be at least 575 paper-based, 230 computer-based,
or 88 internet based.

Students admitted to our Ph.D. program in Chemistry receive full financial support.  They do not pay tuition.
They receive a stipend ($25k/year for 2014-2015)  and their health insurance is paid.
We admit most students in the Fall and some in the  Spring (January).
Applications are reviewed on a continual basis, so you will be considered for Spring 2016 if
your application is not complete for admission in Fall 2015.

P.S. The department may waive the application fee upon review of
copies of GRE/TOEFL scores and transcripts. More info, including a pdf
application where you can type in your info, is available at
