Goal of Dalton Fellowship Program

Dalton Postdoctoral Fellows will actively work with faculty members and their research groups in the Department of Chemistry to enhance and accelerate the pace of scientific discovery and scholarship. This postdoctoral fellowship program is made possible by a generous gift from Professor Emeritus Larry Dalton.
