The Macromolecular Studies Group at Louisiana
State University invites your application to the Craft for Macromolecular Creativity - IGERT. What is CMC-IGERT?
It is an Integrative Graduate Education
Research Training Program sponsored by the
National Science Foundation. Each of
the 100 IGERT programs sponsored by NSF is designed re-invigorate
graduate education in a special area. Our area is polymers and
biopolymers. The overall goal
is to produce more versatile scientists in the field of Polymer and Biopolymer Technology by
providing options for students to gain a wider variety of skills and the
ability to cope with continuous change. In developing this pathway, we
have taken care to maintain excellence in research training, control time
to degree, and develop effective programs to help students to relate their
research and education to potential employers in academics, industry and
government. The program is
also well-suited for scientists with entrepreneurial aspirations. We believe
the CMC-IGERT program
will produce graduates uniquely qualified to carry out inter-disciplinary
research and development in Macromolecular
Technology by providing them with knowledge that crosses more
than one discipline and an effective model of how to manage
multi-disciplinary collaborations in a high-tech setting. The
Craft for Macromolecular Creativity program at LSU provides:
Participating
departments include Biological Sciences, Chemical Engineering, Chemistry,
Education, Physics, and Textiles. The LSU Macromolecular Studies Group unites 21
faculty members in six departments. The
group studies the science and technology of large molecules and is funded
by several agencies in addition to NSF-IGERT to
support interdisciplinary graduate training. For more information, please call
