The CSMC will be holding a webinar, Intellectual Property, Tech Transfer and YOU, on Thursday, February 2, 2012 from 12:00pm - 1:00pm PST. The webinar is free and open to the public - register now to participate!

The Center for Green Materials Chemistry is transitioning to a Phase-II Center for Chemical Innovation as The Center for Sustainable Materials Chemistry.  Our mission is to:

Conduct curiosity-driven and use-inspired research
to enhance the sustainable chemistry toolbox
with new methods and new techniques
that will advance the scientific enterprise
and transform the next generation of products,
while preparing student to become the next generation of green chemists.

Detailed information about the Center will be posted to our new website during the first quarter of 2012.  If you would like to learn more about the Phase-II effort, you can contact us at CSMC@oregonstate.edu.  We will also be represented at the Spring Meetings of the American Chemical Society and the Materials Research Society.

Several postdoctoral positions are available in the Center.  We have crafted collaborative research positions that are augmented by a variety of workshops on writing proposals, managing research efforts, and commercializing research.  For consideration, please forward your CV to CSMC@oregonstate.edu.

Phase-II senior investigators are:

Oregon State Univ: Douglas Keszler, John F. Wager, Mas Subramanain, Greg Herman, John C. Conley, Janet Tate, and Paul H.-Y. Cheong

Univ of Oregon: David C. Johnson, Darren W. Johnson, Shannon Boettcher, Mark Lonergan, James Hutchison, Georg Nazin, Cathy Page, Steve Golledge, and John Donovan
