We hope to offer around eight places for Summer Students each year.
Applications are now open for 2022.
We are looking for high-quality undergraduates who are ideally in their 3rd year studying physics (in some cases, we may consider students studying Maths, Computer Science, Engineering).
These Studentships are highly competitive.
Successful applicants will work with our staff at Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (Oxfordshire) on one of our projects. These include ATLAS, CMS, Dark Matter, LHCb, LZ and T2K. Placements at the Particle Physics Department and Boulby Laboratory are detailed here.
Studentships will be for typically 8 weeks, in the period June to September.
Students will be responsible for their own accommodation and transport (we will try to help - see below), but will be paid of the order of 300 pounds per week to cover their expenses.
If you find you are not eligible for our scheme or you are interested in working in other STFC departments, please visit the
STFC Summer Student page.
