WHEN? Late afternoon on Sunday, July 19, 2009 through Saturday afternoon, July 25.

WHERE? Telluride, Colorado, USA

TOPICS AND LECTURES:

Special Plenary Session - Professor Peter Rossky, University of Texas at Austion, winner of the First ACS Physical Chemistry Division Award in Theoretical Chemistry

Electronic Structure Theory - Professor Jack Simons, Univ. of Utah

Chemical Dynamics - Professor John Tully, Yale University

Statistical Mechanics - Professor Rigoberto Hernandez, Georgia Tech

Nanomaterials and molecular electronics - Professor Geoff Hutchinson, University of Pittsburgh

The School will include approximately six to eight hours of lectures on each topic, poster sessions for participants to describe their interests, outdoor recreation, and problem solving sessions. There is wireless internet access, and participants are encouraged to bring their own PCs or Macs.

The School is intended for:
- Recent or soon-to-be theory Ph.D.s who need to acquire knowledge outside their graduate and postdoctoral experiences.
- Experimental chemists (and from related fields) who use theory in their research- faculty, graduate students, and postdocs.
- Faculty at predominantly undergraduate institutions who want to incorporate theory into their classes.

There will be a total of only 20-30 participants.

APPLICATION PROCEDURE:

Applications for the 2009 TSTC school are now past deadline and no longer being accepted. Applications for the 2011 TSRC school will be posted online in Fall of 2010.
