The American Chemical Society Petroleum Research Fund is sponsoring a five day summer school to expand the knowledge of molecular photoelectron spectroscopy among chemical researchers and educators.  The Summer School will be held from June 12 - 16, 2005 on the campus of The University of Arizona.

Why attend this Summer School?

Photoelectron spectroscopy is the most direct experimental method of probing the electronic structure of molecules.  This Summer School will give chemists the opportunity to gain practical experience in the methods and uses of photoelectron spectroscopy.  Participants will gain actual research experience by collecting and interpreting data on samples from their own interests to build a foundation for the use of these methods in their research and teaching.

Audience

The Summer School is targeted towards chemists who have little to no background in photoelectron spectroscopy, including organic, inorganic, and materials chemists, theoreticians, and spectroscopists from other fields.  Participants are welcomed from community colleges, 4-year undergraduate schools, graduate universities, and research institutes and laboratories.  Funding is available to support the travel and living expenses of the ≈25 participants.

Application Deadline was April 15, 2005

Applications are no longer being accepted for participation in the Summer School.  We thank the many applicants for their interest.
