Early life and education Stalcup has described herself as a military brat, and spent her childhood in several different locales. She completed her undergraduate degree in chemistry at the California State University, Sacramento, after training in southern and northern California. As an undergraduate student she worked several different jobs to cover her costs. and first interacted with capillary electrophoresis columns. The carbohydrate-based bonded phases are designed to include chiral recognition elements, and have been intelligently designed for the separation of optical isomers. After six years in Hawaii, Stalcup moved to the University of Cincinnati, where she was made full professor by 2001. Whilst in the United States, Stalcup served on the advisory board of the Greater Cincinnati Water Works.

In 2012, Stalcup moved to Ireland, where she was made Director of the Irish Separation Science Cluster and Professor of Chemical Sciences at Dublin City University.
