The Swiss Summer Student Particle Physics Program is organized by the particle physics groups of ETH Zürich, the University of Zürich, EPFL, the University of Geneva, and the University of Bern. It is supported by the Swiss Institute of Particle Physics (CHIPP) and the Swiss Academy of Sciences (SCNAT). The program is aimed at International BSc and MSc Degree students (Ph D students cannot apply) in Physics, Applied Physics, Medical Physics, Engineering, Computing Science, and Materials Science, on a highly competitive basis. The program will allow students to work on detector development or perform data analysis in particle physics. We cover different topics, from research on exotic atoms - where particle physics, atomic physics, and quantum optics meet - to research on neutrino, flavour and high-energy physics, dark matter searches, and astroparticle physics. Selected students will contribute to the upgrade of different detectors and/or analyze data using machine learning techniques. The program runs from July 14 to September 14, 2025, with some flexibility depending on project needs. Students will spend nine weeks at ETH Zurich, the University of Zurich, PSI, the University of Bern (possibly FERMILAB), EPFL, and the University of Geneva. Each student will be guided by a supervisor responsible for their training program. A final report and some presentations (in English) on the project will be required during the program. In some cases, the summer internship can be extended to a few months contract in preparation for a Master Degree Thesis. Participants will be selected based on academic achievement, average exam scores, graduation score if applicable, and suitability for the program as indicated in a personal statement. Some merit-based scholarships are available. Applications should be made at https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/29683 and should include: Cover Letter explaining reasons for seeking admission to the program, Curriculum Vitae, Application form + Academic Transcripts as a single.pdf file: Download the Application form Previous Research Project (if available) in pdf format. If not in English, applicants should provide a summary (2-3 pages) in English explaining their main contributions. Candidates should also arrange for two reference letters from professors or scientists at national and international laboratories. Letters must be submitted online by the reference writers by the deadline. The deadline is March 16, 2025. The review will start soon after. Candidates will be informed if they are selected by the end of April. For more information about the details of the program, see: https://swiss.sspp.program.phys.ethz.ch.
