Greetings, UC Merced provides students the University of California's distinctive world-class education, while adding a special blend of small academic programs, interdisciplinary research and personalized attention from award-winning faculty. UC Merced professors and researchers have acquired more than $185.7 million in grants and contracts, one of the highest per-capita in the country. With more than 400 graduate students and a rapidly growing graduate student population, it is no wonder UC Merced is attracting the best and brightest scholars from all over the world. Research in the Chemistry and Chemical Biology graduate group spans the traditional disciplines of chemistry and related interdisciplinary fields including chemical biology, materials science and nanoscience. Students in the group choose one of four emphasis areas: physical chemistry, organic chemistry, chemical biology, or computational chemistry. Students are educated and must demonstrate proficiency in a particular subdiscipline, but have the opportunity to pursue research that spans multiple fields of chemistry and other disciplines if they so desire. This approach provides our students with both the rigorous training and the broad perspectives needed to address present-day scientific and technological challenges. All students in good standing in the Chemistry and Chemical Biology Ph.D. program are funded through a combination of teaching assistantships, research assistantships, and fellowships. Grants to support student travel to conferences are also available. I encourage you to visit our web page, http://chemistry.ucmerced.edu/, to learn about our faculty, research, and academic programs. For general information about graduate study at UC Merced, please see the Graduate Division's web page, http://graduatedivision.ucmerced.edu. Sincerely, Iqbal Atwal
