A message from Professor Brandenburg for interested students: "Thanks for you inquiry about research assistant positions at the High Energy Physics Lab (HEPL). We have five groups, all of which have had undergrads working on various projects: CDF (Franklin and Foland) which is studying proton-antiproton physics at Fermilab, MINOS (Feldman) which is looking for neutrino oscillations at Fermilab and the Soudan Mine, BABAR (Morii) which is studying CP violation in electron-positron collisions at SLAC, the ATLAS project which is building a muon detector for a future experiment at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (Huth and myself), and our new Dark Energy group (Stubbs and Franklin) which is doing R&D for upcoming astrophysics projects. You can find more information at htpp://www.hepl.harvard.edu.

The work at HEPL ranges from physics data analysis (i.e. software) to detector R&D and fabrication (i.e. hardware). There are usually jobs for students at all levels of experience. For a summer job you would be expected to work at least two months, and our term-time students typically work 10-15 hours/week.

I can't say for sure which HEPL projects currently have "openings" -- you will need to check directly with the faculty involved. You can reach everyone I mentioned above using @physics as an address. In the meantime I'd be happy to give you more details and a short tour. Send me an email if you'd like to stop by the lab sometime."

Research Opportunities

SPS tries to keep a list of research opportunities for undergraduates interested in physics. There's no substitute for knocking on doors and emailing professors directly, but we hope to make the process of finding a research job somewhat easier.

Well, we intend to at least. At the moment all we have is this blank page.
