Summer 2021 DIANA Undergraduate Fellowship Opportunities

All, Opportunities, Uncategorized, Undergraduate research

For the summer of 2021, several projects have been proposed and we invite applications from undergraduate students at U.S. universities. Each of these projects has been designed for a three month period, starting in May or June according to the student’s academic calendar. Participation will be remote. The stipend level will be $2000/month. Several of these projects are particularly well-suited to Computer Science or Computer Engineering students. Others are particularly well-suited to Physics students. All students with appropriate experience (as described in the individual project descriptions) are encouraged to apply, regardless of nominal major. Veterans, women, and members of other traditionally under-represented groups are especially encouraged to apply.

The due dates are March 21 and March 28, see here for more details

Computer science or engineering students instead on working on research
software problems relevant for particle physics are also welcome, of
course.” Continue reading IRIS-HEP summer research opportunity →
