Want to Join?
Thanks for your interest in our group! Due to the high volume of daily emails, Jessica is unable to respond to all requests! Apologies! I generally accept 1-3 graduate students every year, and all interested students must apply to the Department of Chemistry at the University of Minnesota.
Postdoctoral Scholars
Prospective postdocs should email Jessica with a 1-page cover letter, CV, 2-page research statement that summarizes your previous research accomplishments, and 3 references, including name, email, and phone number (one should be your PhD advisor). We are looking for candidates who can build up new projects, will help mentor and inspire a young group, and have interests at the interface of catalysis, methodology, and polymers. Please highlight how you fit these criteria in your cover letter.
Incomplete applications will not be reviewed.
Inquiries by email must include in the subject line: “[Full postdoc application for Lamb Lab UMN]”
Graduate Students
Prospective graduate students should apply to the University of Minnesota Department of Chemistry. Admitted graduate students can directly email Jessica with a statement of interest and CV. Group selection occurs over the course of your first fall semester. Interested graduate students should attend group meetings/subgroup, meet with Jessica a minimum of three times, and meet with current group members before the advisor selection deadline.

Undergraduate Students
Undergraduate students
Undergraduate students at the University of Minnesota seeking research opportunities can find general information on the Chemistry Advising webpage. Interested students should email Jessica with a statement of interest and CV (including time left in the program). We encourage multiple-year commitments, so we cannot guarantee that there will be open spots at all times.
