How to Apply to the SUPER Program
Interested undergraduate students should apply by filling out the appropriate registration at https://indico.bnl.gov/e/ApplySUPER2025 .
The deadline for guaranteed review is February 23, 2025; however, late applications will continue to be considered based on availability.
Proposals should contain several required pieces:
A letter of support
One of these needs to be from the research mentor. If the project is to take place at an ATC or elsewhere, away from the home institute, an additional, third letter of support and reference from the supervisor at the ATC/remote location is also required.
A short description of research interests/plan (1-2 pages).
This is to be written by the student applying for SUPER funding. Students applying to the NonATLAS-Inst branch should summarize why they want to participate in this program and what interests them in experimental particle physics. Students at a US ATLAS university should discuss the proposal with their research mentor before submission. In addition to a description of the planned research, you are encouraged to mention* any previous particle physics research (on ATLAS or otherwise) and any applicable skills that they possess, such as competency in programming language, experience with detector hardware, knowledge of ROOT, etc.
*Students from an institute without an ATLAS group who are applying to the NonATLAS-Inst branch are not expected to have previous research experience in particle physics.
CV or Résumé.
Please provide an up-to-date CV or résumé that summarizes your academic background, any pervious research experience, accolades, relevant skills and/or accomplishments.
