Research Opportunities

Here's a list of professors and the undergrads that are working for them at the moment. ("The moment" being March 2005.) You might email a professor who's indicated to be looking for students, or talk to one of the students listed here. The important part is for you to go out and make things happen!

Nima Arkani-Hamed Professor of Physics PhD 1997, UC-Berkeley

Howard Berg Professor of Molecular and Cellular Biology & Professor of Physics PhD 1964, Harvard University

Professor Berg would like another student, so contact him if you are interested!

Nicolaas Bloembergen Gerhard Gade University Professor, Emeritus PhD 1948, Leiden

George W. Brandenburg Senior Research Fellow and Director of the High Energy Physics Laboratory PhD 1970, Harvard University

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."
