Description

The US CMS Summer Undergraduate Research Internship Program is a 10-week paid internship program, which offers undergraduate students an opportunity to perform a project under the mentorship of scientists working at the frontier of Physics at one of the 50+ institutions in the US.

The internship program is open to students pursuing physics, engineering, computer science, math, chemistry, or related majors. We strongly encourage students from non-HEP non-research focused universities to apply.

The research internships will be structured to encourage students to persist in a STEM major through college and to train them in skills needed for a future career in the STEM workforce, in order to sustain a talent pool in research and innovation.

This immersive research internship opportunity will cover areas in instrumentation, technology, and computing projects. Students will use computational tools and data-science methods to learn about fundamental particles and their interactions, by analyzing data obtained from the CMS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) located at CERN, Switzerland. The pool of mentors are physicists from US institutes affiliated with the CMS experiment at the LHC and at the rank of university faculty, Tougaloo College, scientists from national labs, postdoctoral fellows, and advanced graduate students.

Questions about the US CMS internship program can be directed to uscms-pursue-commitee@fnal.gov.
