Promising undergraduates will participate in basic research during a ten-week summer program on the campus of the University of Washington. Each student will be paired with a faculty advisor who will support and guide the student's efforts. Research opportunities include astrophysics and cosmology, atomic physics, condensed matter physics, nuclear physics, particle physics, and physics education. Applicants must be US citizens or permanent residents.
Admission is competitive.
Women and minority group members are especially encouraged to apply. The University of Washington is located in Seattle, a city that combines excellent outdoor recreational opportunities with the amenities of a major metropolitan center. The city is dramatically situated between the Cascade and Olympic Mountains, freshwater lakes, and Puget Sound. The 10-week program runs from June 19 to August 25. All students must make a commitment to participate for a full 10-week period.
