Research in the natural sciences at Gonzaga University covers a broad range of topics. In addition to the traditional definitions of the disciplines, we offer cutting-edge research at the interface of biology, chemistry, biochemistry, and physics. Explore our faculty and their research interests below.
Not all faculty have open research positions! Faculty research needs change each semester. To optimize being selected, students must check with the research mentors before beginning the application process. A limited number of paid positions are available during the academic year.
For more independent research opportunities, check out our neighbors across the river at WSU Spokane, particularly in the College of Medical Sciences and the College of Pharmacy. Not all WSU faculty can take a research student but all welcome the chance to talk about their research so feel free to contact them regarding possible opportunities. In addition, you can find information about off-campus summer research programs.
