Each summer, the Laboratory offers undergraduate and graduate students the unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience in a leading-edge research environment. Program participants contribute to projects and gain experience that complements their courses of study. In recent summers, we've hired more than 200 students representing top universities.

​

Students have opportunities to

• Interface with national experts in numerous fields of research
• Work with state-of-the-art equipment on real-world technical applications
• Present the results of their research conclusions at the end of the summer

​

THE PROGRAM RUNS FROM MID-MAY THROUGH MID-AUGUST AND PROVIDES THE FOLLOWING:

• Competitive weekly pay.
• Round-trip travel expense assistance for students relocating from 50 miles outside the Boston area.
• Subsidized housing on Northeastern University's campus up to 10 weeks for students whose permanent address is greater than 50 miles outside the Boston area.
