Current Trends in Computational Chemistry
Jackson State University’s Department of
Chemistry is widely recognized for its many
outstanding programs and outreach activities
that are implemented into the educational
process.

The JSU Dept of Chemistry’s
RESEARCH EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS
Include:
CCMSI Summer Institute
JSU and the Chemistry Department host visiting
scientists, faculty members, graduate and
undergraduate students from various schools and
universities. Students come from all over the
world (USA, Poland, Puerto Rico, South Africa,
i.e.) to partake in the educational research
programs at JSU. The summer institute consists
of lectures, mentorship, and knowledge base
information necessary to begin a career in
computational chemistry. The institute’s main
research focus is the development of efficient
computational technologies and applications of
modern methods of computational chemistry
(CCTCC).

CCMSI
General Information
The Computational Center for Molecular Structure and
Interactions (CCMSI) at Jackson State University offers a
summer institute during June 5, 2005 – July 30, 2005. This
program is open to all graduate and undergraduate
students interested in Computational Chemistry. The
objective of the Institute is to teach students quantum and
computational chemistry as well as general research skills.
Institute’s participants will also engage in research projects
with the CCMSI faculty.
The Center will also offer summer appointments to 2-3
Faculty members at our Center during this time. They will
have an opportunity to learn and apply computational
chemistry techniques to chemical and biochemical
problems of their interest and to initiate collaborative
projects with the faculty from the Center. Summer Institute
participants receive formal training in UNIX, quantum
chemistry, computational chemistry, and numerical
methods. Various professors give morning lectures daily.
Additionally, participants attend evening sessions
consisting of enrichment courses in quantum chemistry and
calculus. Participants individually meet with mentors on a
daily basis in order to prepare final presentations. All
students and faculty participants give formal presentations
and successfully complete all final summer institute
requirements.
Faculty members will receive a 2-month summer
salary. The students will spend 8 weeks in the program
and the stipends for students are as follows:
investigations of molecular structures, properties,
and interactions. After completion of the summer
The participant selection will be made by
April 15, 2005. All applications, transcripts,
letters of recommendation and curriculum vitae
for faculty members must be received no later
than March 31, 2005.
