Our mission/goal is to achieve excellence and innovation in organic chemistry In the Porco Research Group, we believe that a cornerstone of innovation and scientific excellence is a collaborative and inclusive research community that supports the fair treatment and equal opportunity for all persons.
In line with this belief, we seek to recruit talent from a diverse group of candidates and are committed to fostering a research environment that emphasizes respect for all people regardless of race, nationality, ethnicity, gender & gender identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, age, physical ability, marital and family status, religious affiliation, and more.
While we are only one part of a much larger community, we recognize the actions taken at the level of individual labs are essential in the fight against systemic racism, sexism, and homophobia that are present in the current culture. Our goal as a premier research group in organic synthesis is to recognize our own biases and work together towards eliminating these biases. Most importantly, we want to ensure that our laboratory is an enjoyable work environment where everyone feels welcome and able to fully participate in research efforts.
