DOE-INFN Summer Students Exchange Program 2020 Edition

The US Department of Energy (DOE) and the Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare of Italy (INFN) announce the 2020 edition of the Summer Exchange Program dedicated to promote the exchange of students in science between the two countries.

INFN (http://www.infn.it) is one of the leading organization worldwide promoting basic scientific research and has tight connections with DOE activities in many areas of interest: Particle Physics, Astroparticle Physics, Nuclear Physics, Theoretical Physics and Detector Physics.

We call for applications of US students willing to join a INFN research team in Italy for a two-month period between June 1st and October 31st, 2020.

There are 11 positions available. Applicants can choose among 19 different INFN sites and 59 research projects.

Grants amount to5000€ to cover travel and living expenses. They are subjected to a 30% reduction due to Italian income taxes.

Eligible candidates must be enrolled as students at a US university and they must have begun, at the time of application, at least the third year of a US University curriculum in physics, engineering or computing science, or planning to start the third year in 2020.

Applications, in electronic form, must be sent to INFN not later than 27th March, 2020 (11.59 pm CET) through the website: https://reclutamento.infn.it/ReclutamentoOnline/
