FRIB faculty

More than 20 faculty members from participating MSU academic programs and over 30 additional PhD accelerator scientists and engineers will mentor the Accelerator Science and Engineering Traineeship (ASET) program participants. All faculty members have extensive research, mentoring, and teaching experience.

FRIB also has a large staff of non-PhD engineers, operators, and technicians who will further enhance the traineeship. This diversity of academic faculty and the extensive scientific and technical staff results in many opportunities for graduate student training in ASET at MSU.

Best nuclear physics programs

The ASET program is part of MSU’s nuclear physics graduate program, which is nationally top-ranked according to the U.S. News & World Report. Additionally, each year MSU awards 10 percent of nuclear physics doctorate degrees.

Support for several kinds of graduate fellowships in ASET is provided by the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science (DOE-SC) Office of High Energy Physics, DOE-SC Office of Nuclear Physics, and the National Science Foundation.
