Undergraduate students at the University of Texas at San Antonio interested in research opportunities are encouraged to contact Chris. Those interested in research programs from the Office of Undergraduate Research are very welcome to reach out for more information. External funded programs include the ACS DOC SURF program (for the summer between the junior and senior year).

Undergraduates from universities other than UTSA who would be interested in summer research should consider our Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program.

Prospective graduate students should apply through the UTSA Department of Chemistry program. Inquiries from interested prospective students are always welcome.

Funded postdoctoral positions will be advertised here when available. Interested postdoctoral candidates should send: a cover letter; CV; 2-page summary of past research accomplishments and future research interests and how they overlap with the research directions of the Sandford lab; and contact details for two or more referees (only applications that meet all these criteria will receive a response). Outstanding applicants who wish to apply for independent funding will receive assistance with fellowship applications and should contact Chris well in advance of application deadlines.
