Beyond the Classroom

Organic Chemistry

Students will study the structure, properties, composition, reactions, and preparation of carbon-containing compounds. Organic Chemistry allows students in induce their creativity through synthesizing and characterizing compounds as well as developing the methods of synthesis. Students with this knowledge and degree concentration can also find a career in biochemistry, and they can work in the medical field. They can find themselves working with petroleum, rubber, plastics, and other novel materials in the industrial fields.

Organic Synthesis Internship Opportunity

This opportunity is the first step into the world of organic chemistry. First, the students will conduct research in organic synthesis using microwave technology or nanotechnology related areas. The students can also get experience using sonication as a synthetic method. Ultimately the students will participate in research and development activities leading to a clean green method for the synthesis of different imidazole or imide derivatives which will be evaluated against antibacterial and antifungal agents. 

In order to secure your opportunity within the realm of organic chemistry synthesis and compound characterization, contact Dr. Nalley at (580) 581-2889, or submit a cover letter indicating experience applicable to position, resume, transcripts (unofficial are acceptable at this point), names, addresses, and telephone numbers of three professional references to annn@cameron.edu.

The application process will run until the two positions are filled. Students can work between 12 to 14 hours per week with a $12/hour wage.
