About the Program
Each year Fermilab selects several university students to participate in the summer internship program in Physics of Accelerators and Related Technology for International students (PARTI). This internship program has been developed to familiarize students with opportunities at the frontier of scientific research in physics and technology of particle accelerators. The 2008 program will accept only students from universities of the former Soviet Union majoring in Physics, Engineering, and Computer Sciences.

The PARTI Committee, consisting of Fermilab scientists and engineers, selects the best candidates from the pool of applicants. A Fermilab staff member will mentor the intern on some scientific, engineering or computer task to carry out experiments, to improve the operation of the particle accelerator or to support and develop specialized research. We try to assign interns to projects appropriate to their interests and academic levels.

The 10-12 week program consists of an assignment, an academic lecture series, weekly meetings, and a final report that each intern presents orally to the Fermilab staff. There are no grades or quizzes. The PARTI Committee will follow the intern's progress to help ensure the maximum benefit is realized from the program.

For a student to be considered for this program, they must submit: the Application Form including the essay, two letters of recommendation and a recent academic transcript. The deadline for application to this year's program is February 15, 2008. Applicants will be informed of their application status by email on March 7, 2008.
