College Students

From undergrads to postdocs, students get hands-on research experience along with academic and career support.

Want to gain research experience at the cutting edge of magnetic field, pressure and temperature? Look no further than the MagLab. Students can be part of research across many disciplines — physics, biology, chemistry, engineering.

The lab continues to address workforce development needs of college students, graduate students, and postdocs while tracking participant career progression. This includes professional development and mentorship through specialized skill development, workshops, and a chance to network with other students, users, and faculty at the Lab. In addition, all graduate students and postdocs at the MagLab are encouraged to work with their mentors on creating an individual development plan to make the most of their time at the lab.

Individual Development Plan

The American Association for the Advancement of Science has a free online IDP that you can fill out with your mentor.
