If you are in the second year of your undergraduate degree or above and would like to work with me on a research project during the summer, you are welcome to apply to our Summer Undergraduate Research Opportunities Programme (UROP) and select me as a potential supervisor.
The range of projects I may offer varies between more formal investigations (e.g. on properties of scattering amplitudes in quantum field theory) and more phenomenological ones (see e.g. or which both started as summer projects). Strong mathematical foundations and a good knowledge of quantum mechanics are a must. At least some computer skills are also typically required.
Details of the UROP differ slightly from year to year, and are/will be posted here. Usually, the deadline for applications is late February/early March and successful candidates are notified in April. The project will typically last 8-10 weeks, beginning on or around July 1st. The duration may be adjusted to be shorter or longer, or to accommodate summer travel. Typically we are able to offer a 30-hour working week paid at the living-wage rate.
On top of working on a self-contained research project within my group, you would also be encouraged to participate in the Department's life, joining researchers for coffee breaks, discussions and seminars.
Unfortunately, at the moment I am not offering any summer internship outside the UROP.
