Since there are many students looking for research experience each year, motivated candidates should email Dr. Black directly only if they meet the following: (1) have taken at least one of Dr. Black\u2019s courses, (2) have some hands-on lab or field experience -or- have taken one introductory chemistry course at UR, (3) have some familiarity with Microsoft excel, matlab, or other data processing applications. If you take one of Dr. Black\u2019s 200 level courses you likely will fulfill all 3 requirements at once!","background_color":"#ffffff","width":"width-medium"},{"acf_fc_layout":"text","anchor":"","css_class":"","title":"<h2>Prospective Ph.D. Students<\/h2>","content":"The TRACER Lab will be actively seeking prospective graduate students for admission in the Fall 2026 semester (applications reviewed winter-spring 2025).
