The Indiana University Department of Physics offers summer research positions to outstanding undergraduate students majoring in physics. The participants will gain direct research experience by working in ongoing experimental or theoretical research programs in accelerator physics, biophysics, condensed matter physics, elementary particle and high energy physics, medical physics, and nuclear physics in projects supervised by Indiana University faculty and senior scientific staff. All students attend weekly seminars on current research in physics and will participate in professional development discussions and activities. At the completion of the Summer Program, each student will present the results in a seminar at a closing Symposium and will be encouraged to develop other means to share the results of their research (conference abstract or poster presentation, technical report, research article, etc).

An applicant must must be a U.S. Citizen or permanent resident and should qualify for all of the following:

• have completed at least two semesters of college-level physics.
• be majoring in physics or a closely related area (for example, one that requires some physics courses beyond the introductory level),
• and will still be pursuing an undergraduate degree in the Fall.
