Education & Training

Current FRIB faculty

FRIB faculty are world-leading experts in nuclear science and related fields. Their research makes use of FRIB’s capabilities and supports a range of scientific and technical applications. Faculty hold joint appointments with Michigan State University, connecting FRIB’s research programs with academic departments. They collaborate with researchers from institutions around the world and contribute to a multidisciplinary research environment.

FRIB offers training and research opportunities to graduate students who routinely meet and work side-by-side with leading researchers in nuclear physics, nuclear astrophysics, nuclear chemistry, accelerator physics, and engineering. Graduate students at FRIB have the opportunity to watch, participate in, and lead discoveries of things no one knew before. In the process, they develop skills and connections to excel in a wide variety of careers. Students can a graduate degree through MSU’s Physics and Astronomy department,(link is external) Chemistry department(link is external), or College of Engineering(link is external) by working with the faculty and staff at FRIB.
