Each summer, the MSU Department of Physics and Astronomy and its research groups offer internships for undergraduates.
Over the course of these ten weeks, the undergraduate students will work one-on-one with MSU faculty members in one of these research areas:
- Accelerator Physics
- Astrophysics
- Biophysics
- Computational Physics
- Condensed Matter Physics
- Low Temperature Physics
- Nanoscience
- Nuclear Physics
- Particle Physics
- Physics Education
- Psychoacoustics
- Theoretical Physics
The program includes a weekly series of professional and career development workshops and organized social activities and excursions; these provide an informal atmosphere where students can get to know each other and a range of Physics-Astronomy faculty and staff. At the end of the program, students will present their research results as a poster and also submit a "practice" NSF Graduate Fellowship application. To maximize interactions between students, all students are housed in the same building.
The application deadline is February 2, 2024.
