About this position
The Department of Chemistry at the University of Southern California (USC) invites applications for its PhD program, offering a dynamic research environment and opportunities for motivated students interested in advanced studies in chemistry. The program is open to both domestic and international applicants, with a focus on research excellence and interdisciplinary collaboration. USC Chemistry does not require the GRE and has no application fee, making it accessible to a wide range of candidates. Early admission and university-sponsored fellowships are available for qualified students, providing financial support and recognition for academic achievement.
Applicants are expected to submit a comprehensive application package, including transcripts from all universities attended, a detailed description of previous research experience, a statement of research interests, a personal statement outlining career goals and motivation for graduate study, contact information for three recommenders, and a current resume or CV. International students must provide TOEFL or IELTS scores if their undergraduate degree is from a non-English speaking country, though there is no minimum score requirement. All application materials, including recommendation letters, must be submitted by December 1, 2025.
The program encourages applicants to explore the research interests of USC Chemistry faculty and to indicate at least three faculty members whose work aligns with their own interests. However, faculty advisors are selected during the first year of study, not prior to admission. The department values diversity in research backgrounds and encourages students with a passion for chemistry to apply. Selected applicants may be invited for a virtual interview as part of the admissions process.
USC Chemistry offers a supportive academic environment, with access to cutting-edge facilities and a vibrant scientific community. The program is designed to prepare students for successful careers in academia, industry, and beyond.
