Accelerator Science and Engineering Traineeship
Train for specialized careers in in-demand fields
All faculty members have extensive research, mentoring, and teaching experience.
FRIB also has a large staff of non-PhD engineers, operators, and technicians who will further enhance the traineeship. This diversity of academic faculty and the extensive scientific and technical staff results in many opportunities for graduate student training in ASET at MSU.
The ASET program is part of MSU’s nuclear physics graduate program, which is nationally top-ranked according to the U.S. News & World Report. Over the past five years, MSU has awarded about 15 percent of the nuclear physics doctoral degrees.

Support for several kinds of graduate fellowships in ASET is provided by the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science (DOE-SC) Office of High Energy Physics, and the DOE-SC Office of Nuclear Physics.
