Description

Welcome to the US CMS Summer Undergraduate Research Internship Program. This 10-week paid internship program seeks to address the under-representation of women and minoritized students in STEM fields, in particular Physics. The female and minority undergraduate students have an opportunity to perform a project under the mentorship of scientists working at the frontier of Physics at one of the 50+ institutions in the United States.

We aim to strengthen our research by increasing diversity. The internship program is open to students pursuing physics, engineering, computer science, math, chemistry, or related majors.

The research internships is structured to encourage students to persist in a STEM major through college and to train them in skills needed for a future career in the STEM workforce, in order to sustain a diverse and inclusive talent pool in research and innovation.

This immersive research internship opportunity covesr areas in instrumentation, technology, and computing projects. Students will use computational tools and data-science methods to learn about fundamental particles and their interactions, by analyzing data obtained from the CMS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC)  that is located at CERN, Switzerland. The pool of mentors are physicists from U.S. institutes affiliated with the CMS experiment at the LHC and at the rank of university faculty, scientists from national labs, postdoctoral fellows, and advanced graduate students.

The program is funded by U.S. Department of Energy and National Science Foundation funds awarded to the U.S. CMS Operations at Fermilab and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

Questions about the U.S. CMS internship program can be directed to Prof. Meenakshi Narain, chair of the U.S. CMS Collaboration Board.
