The Indiana University Department of Physics will offer summer research positions to outstanding undergraduate students majoring in physics. The participants will gain direct research experience by working in ongoing experimental or theoretical research programs in accelerator physics, biophysics, condensed matter physics, elementary particle and high energy physics, medical physics, and nuclear physics in projects supervised by Indiana University faculty and senior scientific staff. All students attend weekly seminars on current research in physics and will participate in professional development discussions and activities. At the completion of the Summer Program, each student will present the results in a seminar at a closing Symposium and will be encouraged to develop other means to share the results of their research (conference abstract or poster presentation, technical report, research article, etc).
Eligibility
An applicant must be a U.S. Citizen or permanent resident and should qualify for all of the following:
- Have completed their freshman, sophomore or junior year by June 2018, preferably with at least 2 semesters of college-level physics.
- Have an average of 3.0 (on a 4.0 point scale) in all undergraduate courses.
- Be presently majoring in physics.
Support
A stipend of $5,000 for a 10-week summer appointment will be paid to each student. Single accommodation housing and meals will be provided as well as an allowance for round-trip travel. Detailed information will be sent to the participants in April.
