The Rutgers-Newark Chemistry Department (http://chemistry.rutgers.edu) places a strong emphasis on excellence in research, and is enjoying a period of dynamic growth with new faculty hires and the addition of research space and state of the art facilities. The collegial atmosphere of the department promotes collaborations and joint projects.  The Department maintains a vibrant, highly interdisciplinary graduate program and is exceptionally well equipped for its size. Among others, it houses three multinuclear NMR spectrometers (500 MHz and 600 MHz; including solid state capability); brand-new Rigaku single crystal and powder X-ray diffractometers; three mass spectrometers (including a brand-new Orbitrap HRMS with ESI, APCI, and DART capabilities); optical spectroscopy equipment (including ultrafast transient absorption, circular dichroism, and time-resolved fluorescence systems); scanning-electron, Raman, infrared, and multi-mode scanning probe microscopes; and a large array of polymer and nanomaterials characterization tools (GPC, light scattering, DSC, TGA, rheometer, DMA). Extensive additional shared experimental and high-performance computing resources are available within the Rutgers University system.
