Our research groups are investigating a wide variety of chemical processes that have applications in organic chemistry, environmental science and drug design. As you will see when you browse through this website, our laboratories are extremely well equipped.

Undergraduate and graduate students in our research groups develop a wide range of skills (ranging from organic synthesis to nanosecond and femtosecond lasers) and become well-versed in many areas of organic chemistry and materials science.

We are currently accepting MSc and PhD graduate students, USRA (NSERC) summer students and Chemistry honours students to our laboratories. For more information please come and see us or send us an email at fcozens@dal.ca or nschepp@dal.ca.

The Department of Chemistry within Dalhousie University is a great place to work and study; the University is located in the heart of Halifax and encompasses a beautiful campus. Dalhousie University is one of the oldest Universities in Canada and was founded in 1818. With this age comes considerable character of buildings and the University boasts a great location within the city.

Halifax is located in the shores of the Atlantic Ocean and is a beautiful mid-sized city. With a population of about 350,000 the city is large enough to host a variety of events and small enough to still have beautiful country within a short distance. Halifax is one of the jewels of Canada, and is an incredible place to live and work. To find out more about the city and its attractions please click here.
