The UC Physics Dept. is now inviting applications for the UC QuarkNet Summer research internship for current high school students.
You are invited to apply for a 6-week paid internship working on a research project with the University of Cincinnati Physics Department. Four students will be selected. All will participate in analyzing data recorded by the LHCb experiment at CERN (the European Organization for Nuclear Research). The overall purpose of the program is to introduce participants to physics research. You will learn how to analyze data and will learn elements of experimental particle physics including detector physics. The work will be computer intensive, but no prior programming experience is required. Similarly, no prior physics coursework or knowledge is required. Work will be done in-person at the University of Cincinnati
You will be expected to present your work at the end of the program.
The program will start June 23rd and end August 1st. All interns are expected to make a good-faith effort to participate fully during this period.
The in-person meeting hours will be from 9 AM until 4 PM, M-F, with a one-hour break for lunch. You are also expected to invest some additional effort outside these hours.
You will need to secure your own transportation to and from the Geology/Physics building at the University of Cincinnati. If you want to take Metro, we can arrange passes for you.
You will receive $2400 upon successful completion of your work. We plan to provide lunch daily. If you have any dietary constraints or preferences, please let us know in advance.
Send any questions to: Michael Wilkinson ([email protected]), Mike Sokoloff ([email protected]) and Conor Henderson ([email protected]).
All applications received by 5 PM Friday, May 2 will receive full consideration. Applications received subsequently may or may not be considered.
