Caltech undergrads and SURF scholars from anywhere are welcome. We mentor heavily — many of our undergrads have first-authored or co-authored papers.
About SURF →Life at the lab
Weekly subgroup meetings. Joint group meetings. Frequent visits from the world's leading chemists. Pasadena weather. Strong industry pipeline. An expectation that you will publish in the best journals — and a real obligation, from us, to help you get there.
How we hire
Hosea did not finish high school. He is a Caltech professor and a national-award-winning scientist. The path to good science is not linear. If you have a story, send it.
