Summer Junior Fellowships for Undergraduates in Physics Research

这是一项为期三年的资助，用于更新佛罗里达州立大学物理系正在进行的研究项目的区域本科生。十个暑期初级奖学金职位的申请来自美国东南部地区的160所学院和大学。申请人的兴趣与研究项目相匹配，对女性和少数族裔的申请给予额外关注。该项目的主要重点是为东南地区的本科物理专业学生提供研究经验，通常10个奖学金中有9个是给FSU以外的学生。这些实验室包括一个S-FN串联范德格拉夫，一个超导直线加速器，四个用于环境和植入研究的小型加速器，一个粒子物理探测器实验室，以及布鲁克海文，费米实验室和欧洲核子研究中心的活跃项目，一个超高分辨率红外光谱仪，一个氦原子散射光谱仪，设有液晶实验室，以及多个低温固态研究设施。大约15至20名教员将直接参与暑期青年研究员的工作。除了联合研究活动外，所有研究员还将参加为该项目设计的研讨会，并在任期结束时就他们的暑期研究发表论文和演讲。每年夏天，两到三名研究员将与主办小组（核物理）合作，举办系列讨论会、计算机程序设计和机械车间技术的短期课程，以及提供物理学不同领域之间共同联系的学生讲座。

This is a three year grant for the renewal of regional undergraduate participation in ongoing research programs in the Department of Physics, Florida State University. Applications for ten Summer Junior Fellowship positions are solicited from 160 colleges and universities throughout the southeastern region of the United States. Applicants' interests are matched with the research programs and extra attention is given to applications from women and minorities. The main focus of the program is to provide research experience for undergraduate physics majors in the southeast region, with usually 9 out of 10 fellowships going to students outside of FSU. The laboratories include a S-FN Tandem Van de Graaff, a superconducting LINAC, four smaller accelerators used for environmental and implantation studies, and a particle physics detector laboratory as well as active programs at Brookhaven, Fermilab and CERN, an ultra-high resolution infrared spectrometer, a helium atom scattering spectrometer, a liquid crystal laboratory, and a number of low temperature solid state research facilities. Approximately 15 to 20 faculty members will be directly involved with Summer Junior Fellows. In addition to joint research activities, all Fellows will attend a seminar designed for the program and will present papers and talks on their summer research near the end of the appointment. Each summer two or three of the Fellows will work with the host group (nuclear physics), with the seminar series, short courses in computer programming and machine shop techniques, and the student talks providing the common links between the different areas of physics.
