Attached, please find the first announcement for the 2018 version of the International Research Experiences for Students (IRES) at CERN program, which each Summer supports 6 undergraduates in an internship and training experience at CERN, in Geneva, Switzerland. Potential candidates will have finished their junior or senior year by Summer 2018, with majors in physics, electrical or mechanical engineering, or computer science. You will notice that the dates of the 9-week program are tentative, awaiting confirmation from CERN, and that the application period opens on 1 November 2017, and closes on 4 January 2018. Please circulate the flyer and/or the information to your advisees and other qualified students, particularly those who belong to groups historically underrepresented in STEM.
Thank you. I will be happy to answer any questions that might arise.
