Alabama Plasma Internship Program (ALPIP) We are no longer accepting applications for Summer 2022. The AL Plasma Internship Program (ALPIP) is a partnership with the Princeton Plasma Physics Lab (PPPL) that provides undergraduate students across the southeastern U.S. (Alabama, Arkansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, West Virginia, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico) with a combination of scientific training and research experiences at PPPL for one week and hands-on research experience at a CPU2AL institution for nine weeks. While at PPPL, students will be part of a larger national plasma science student cohort, learn about opportunities in plasma science, and be exposed to the research environment of the national laboratory. Alabama Research Experience for Undergraduates (ALREU) We are no longer accepting applications for Summer 2022. The NSF EPSCoR CPU2AL project intends to support interns for the summer of 2022 under the Alabama Research Experiences for Undergraduates (ALREU). The ALREU program is a 10-week summer internship program for undergraduate students enrolled at HBCU institutions across the southeastern U.S. (Alabama, Arkansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, West Virginia, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico). The main goal of the program is to attract undergraduate students from HBCUs to research and graduate programs in Alabama. The ALREU program is envisioned to run in parallel to NSF REU programs at the different institutions. Corporate Internship Program on Plasma Technology Applications (CIPPTA) We are no longer accepting applications for Summer 2022. This program provides undergraduate and graduate students enrolled at a CPU2AL partner institution with internship opportunities with AL companies to learn about industrial plasma technology applications and prepare them for a transition into the AL workforce. For more information, visit the CIPPTA webpage. Graduate Research Assistantships The CPU2AL project provides financial support to selected graduate students involved in hands-on research on low-temperature plasmas at CPU2AL institutions. For more information, visit the Graduate Research Assistantships web page. International Space Weather Camp (ISWC) We are no longer accepting applications for Summer 2022. The International Space Weather Camp (ISWC) is an opportunity to learn about space physics in the context of meeting a very practical need -- to understand the influence of the Sun on the space and upper atmosphere of the Earth and its related impact on the technological systems and needs of modern society. More than twenty students from Alabama, Germany, South Africa, and Italy participate in a multiple week series of lectures, hands-on projects, experiments, and excursions as they learnboth the theoretical underpinnings and practical applications of Space Weather and solar and space physics. Additional Opportunities DOE Office of Science Graduate Student Research (SCGSR) Program The Department of Energy (DOE), Office of Science Graduate Student Research (SCGSR) Program provides supplemental awards for Ph.D. students to conduct part of their graduate thesis research at a DOE laboratory for 3 to 12 consecutive months. The program accepts applications twice a year with deadlines in May and November. Benefits include a stipend of $3000 per month and reimbursement for transportation costs to and from the laboratories. The goal of the program is preparing graduate students for scientific and technical careers critically important to the DOE Office of Science mission. Career Opportunities Subscription We are now accepting applications for Summer 2021.
