Program description: Nevada's chemistry department offers a favorable student-to-faculty ratio, with 16 faculty, 50-60 graduate students, and typically 10-12 postdoctoral associates and visiting faculty. Our department has enjoyed tremendous growth in its personnel and research facilities over the past 10 years. The research programs in the department enjoy an excellent international reputation, reflecting our commitment to quality and our success in competing for research funding. The department maintains an outstanding seminar program with approximately 40 outside speakers of international stature each year. Among the highlights of this program are the annual R.C. Fuson Lectureship and the biennial Sierra Nevada ACS Distinguished Chemist Lectureship, both of which have featured Nobel Laureates.
