Associate Dean Aaron Saguil (Chemistry '95 Grad!) stands with four recent Duke graduates as they begin their medical training at the Hébert School of Medicine at the Uniformed Services University. From left: Thomas I. (2017 Chem minor); Eli M. (Biomedical Engineering '17); Gabrielle F. (2017 Chem Major); Dean Saguil; and Elan B-R. (Biomedical Engineering, 2007). Wonderful to see Duke alumni uniting and thanks for sharing the pic!
The Department is seeking a colleague at the Assistant or Associate Professor rank with strong commitments to research, teaching, and embracing a diverse and inclusive community of scholars. Candidates should have research interests in experimental approaches in Inorganic or Physical Organic Chemistry, particularly those with a multidisciplinary reach.

The National Science Foundation is funding the new Center for the Chemistry of Molecularly Optimized Networks (MONET) as a Phase I Center for Chemical Innovation. Led by Duke and featuring prominent chemists at MIT and Northwestern, MONET informs strategies to bring remarkable properties to polymer networks, by treating them as complex but understandable chemical systems that can be harnessed to produce currently inaccessible collective properties.
Duke Chem alumni reunited at the University of Notre Dame for the Biennial Conference on Chemical Education! Drs. Robert Harris (Emory University), Jennifer Hawk (Converse College), and Pam Mosley (Michigan State) joined Dr. Kathryn Haas (St. Mary's College) to present talks, posters and Chair sessions. Dr. James Parise (Univ. of Notre Dame) Co-Chaired the Conference.
The Department is grateful for Professor Michael Hunnicutt and additional Duke Chem Alumni who recently established the Charles H. Lochmüller Fellowship Fund. The Fellowship honors beloved former faculty member and Chair, Charlie Lochmüller. Read more about Charlie and the lasting legacy of his mentorship in the Duke Forward article available here. Thank you to these Alumni for contributing to a fellowship that will open doors for a new generation of Duke Chemistry graduate students!
