Internships

Program Description

The Fermilab International Student Program (ISP) is designed to engage non-U.S. students pursuing degrees majoring in physics, computing or engineering at institutions outside the United States. The duration of a Fermilab experience is short-term, less than one year in duration and typically for a period of three months.

The program provides advanced training and exchange opportunities for students looking to expand their global perspective and professional skill set through interactions with other young scientists from around the world. International participants join a diverse U.S.-based group of students and interns immersed in the laboratory’s science, community and mission.

Each student’s research experience aligns with their interests and program of study. A Fermilab mentor provides support and ensures a truly collaborative and integrated experience.
