Chicagoland Accelerator Science Traineeship
Illinois Tech and Northern Illinois University have teamed up with Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory and Argonne National Laboratory to create the Chicagoland Accelerator Science Traineeship (CAST) program. Funded by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), the program provides up to two years of funding for graduate students at IIT and NIU to pursue studies in accelerator science, technology, and particle beam physics with active participation in research at these prominent national laboratories or with local industrial partners.
The competitive program offers accelerator and beam physics and engineering graduate students at Illinois Tech the opportunity to participate in relevant accelerator science at pioneering research institutions during their initial years of graduate study.
Students in the program are expected to complete the two years of studies culminating in a Masters degree or admittance into a doctoral program in the accelerator field, and will participate in projects at the labs or with industrial partners. Possible topics may include
- modeling and optimization of accelerator and beam designs,
- operation and system integration issues relevant to the development and upgrades of large-scale accelerator systems,
- general beam instrumentation, measurements and diagnostics,
- superconducting radio frequency accelerator physics and engineering,
- radio frequency power systems engineering,
- cryogenic systems engineering.
To be eligible to participate in the DOE-sponsored traineeship program, graduate student candidates must:
- be a U.S. citizen or a legal permanent resident,
- be at least 18 years of age,
- be enrolled full-time in the Ph.D. or Master's (with thesis) degree program.
For further information and status of the Traineeship program please email torun-at-iit.edu.
