Welcome to the Taylor Group! We're a young research group located in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Wyoming. Our research program is dedicated towards the development of new chemical techniques that can be used to help improve human health. We use the symbiotic relationship between chemistry and biology as inspiration for the development of new synthetic transformations.
Open Postdoctoral Position:
We have an immediate opening for a postdoctoral researcher in our group to work on the development of new photochemical reactions for use in exploring dynamic processes in biological systems. If interested, please use this link for more details and to apply!
