Graduate Students

Graduate students in accelerator physics and engineering conduct thesis work at FRIB, leveraging world-class technologies, instruments, and experts.

The FRIB Accelerator Science and Engineering Traineeship (ASET) program is a graduate-level training program that provides an exciting training opportunity in accelerator science and engineering at FRIB for master’s and PhD graduate students in the Department of Physics and Astronomy in the College of Natural Science and the College of Engineering. The program partners with academic programs at MSU (including the Department of Physics and Astronomy and the College of Engineering) and offers opportunities to perform thesis research at U.S. Department of Energy national laboratories.

Upon completion of the curriculum, students are certified and well-trained with the knowledge, skills, and experience they need to succeed in areas with critical workforce needs.
