View Postdoc OpeningsThe Sun group is currently accepting new graduate students. If you are interested in joining the group, please contact Professor Sun. We will only consider motivated students who put our group as their first choice. Prospective graduate student applicants should apply for the NYU Shanghai-track Chemistry PhD Program.
NYU Shanghai-Track Chemistry PhD ProgramWe also accept master’s and PhD students from the N.E.T. program (NYU Shanghai–ECNU Joint Graduate Training Program). Students are officially enrolled in the ECNU School of Physics as theoretical physics majors and conduct research within our group.
N.E.T. ProgramOur group always welcomes undergraduate students interested in research in theoretical and computational chemistry. Students willing to devote multiple years to training in theoretical chemistry should contact Professor Sun at xiang.sun@nyu.edu. Short-term opportunities include the Deans’ Undergraduate Research Fund (DURF), Summer Research Program, Capstone Projects, Independent Study, Undergraduate Thesis, and related programs.
xiang.sun@nyu.eduNon-NYU undergraduate students interested in our PhD program can explore research internships in our group through the Summer Research Program in Molecular Science (SRPMS).
SRPMSWe have research associate openings from time to time. Only a bachelor’s degree is required. Interested applicants should email Professor Sun.
