Harvard Undergraduates - How to Join our Team
Information Requested
- Send to Prof. Hoffman (jhoffman@physics.harvard.edu)
and cc to the relevant student or postdoc mentor on the project list with useful subject line.
- Email about your experience, interests, and goals (1-2 paragraphs. No prior research experience is
necessary, but if you have some, we'd be interested to hear about it.)
- CV (include experience, skills, and coursework; see example)
- Unofficial transcript (not essential, if relevant coursework is already on your CV)
- Preferred employment dates (e.g. "spring semester only" or "summer from June 10-Aug 20, then
continuing into fall semester & possibly beyond". Note that a summer internship is typically 10+ weeks,
and a term-time commitment must be at least 10 hours/week, to maintain substantive progress.)
- Funding you have in hand, or plan to apply for (see below); or desired course credit (e.g. ES
91r or Physics 90r). Note that you can either receive pay or course credit in a
given semester, but not both simultaneously.
Term Time Funding (typical deadlines end of Sept & Jan)
Summer Funding (typical deadlines in March)
