Where Future Leaders of the Chemical Engineering Community are Cultivated

The Chemical Engineering Ph.D. program is designed to prepare each student to take an active part in the development and growth of the field of chemical engineering at all levels in academia, industry, and various research organizations. Because of the world-class training and the paradigm-shifting results that occur during their educational experiences, Ph.D. alumni from the Davidson School of Chemical Engineering have the skills and creative thinking abilities that allow them to be leaders in industry, academia, national laboratories, government and policy roles and private consulting corporations. In this way, our graduates continue to shape the future of chemical engineering and its related fields. Because of this fact, we are consistently placed among the top chemical engineering programs in the nation, ranking in the top 10 programs at public universities in the United States, as determined by US News & World Reports. Moreover, we are always looking to recruit the next class of brilliant, enthusiastic, and dedicated postdoctoral researchers and students to lead the chemical engineering field for the upcoming decades.
