Information and Frequently Asked Questions for Prospective Members of the Jimenez Group
1. What should I do if I am interested in joining the Jimenez Group?
You can email Jose and attach your CV and a list of publications. Graduate students need to apply for admission through a CU Department (see FAQ 3 below).
2. How do I learn more about the research of the Jimenez Group?
We have a lot of information on the web that should provide a good overview of the types of topics and techniques we work on. In particular see:
- List of Scientific Publications by the group
- List of Field Studies in which our group has taken part
- List of Current Group Members (which lists their backgrounds)
- List of Past Group Members and where they went after the group
- Group Press Page that describes some key topics and results of our research in broader terms
- Scientific Reference Information for our group: Part 1 and Part 2
- Jose's 2004 Tutorial on Aerosol Mass Spectrometry
3. How do I apply to graduate school?
Note that in the US prospective graduate students need to apply for admission to an academic department. Individual professors cannot make admission decisions on their own. (This is often not clear to international applicants).
To work in our group, the most natural departments are:
- Dept. of Chemistry and Biochemistry, see the following pages:
It is also possible in principle to apply to an Engineering Dept. (Mechanical, Civil and Environmental, Chemical), but this is more complex.
