Academic Positions

Many exciting career opportunities are available to our PhD and postdoctoral students. Some of our graduates initially move to a postdoctoral fellowship or other positions in Academia, while others go directly into positions of responsibility with Research Institutes & Governmental Agencies or in Industry, particularly with chemical or pharmaceutical companies. Here are some examples of those who are in Academic Positions.

Asterisks indicate students who joined our program for postdoctoral training, which usually lasted two years, the last year being given here.
