User Summer School

Applications for summer school will be accepted from Monday, January 25, 2027, through Monday, March 08, 2027. Applicants will be notified by Friday, March 19, 2027.

Participation fees are $500 for academic attendees and $5,100 for industry/private-sector attendees. The fee covers Summer School lectures and practical sessions, hotel accommodation in the event hotel, transportation between the hotel and the venue, and most meals. Participants are responsible for their own travel expenses.

Summer school registration for accepted applicants will be open from Friday, March 19, 2027, through Friday, April 19, 2027. All participants must register.

The MagLab does not allow "open-toed shoes" in lab spaces. You MUST wear close-toed shoes (no flip-flops or sandals). In addition, if you have any implants (like knee replacements or metal pins) or medical devices that you rely upon (such as pacemakers or insulin pumps), please notify the organization team.

The summer school will be held at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory, 1800 E. Paul Dirac Drive, Tallahassee, FL 32310, USA.

The only facility of its kind in the United States, the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (less formally known as the Magnet Lab) is the largest and highest-powered magnet laboratory in the world, headquartered in a sprawling 370,000-square-foot complex near Florida State University in Tallahassee. The lab also includes sites at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico and the University of Florida in Gainesville. Together these three institutions operate the lab, collaborating in a unique, interdisciplinary way to advance basic science, engineering and technology in the 21st century.

The Magnet Lab

Established by the National Science Foundation in 1990, the lab is a national resource open to both curious visitors and world-renowned scientists. Centralizing the country's greatest magnet-related tools, resources and expertise is not only efficient and cost-effective, but also encourages fruitful, collaborative research at the highest level. Every year, more than 900 visiting scientists and engineers from across the world conduct experiments using our state-of-the-art equipment. Our magnets are far larger, far more powerful and far more complex than the everyday magnets most people are familiar with. Many were designed, developed and built by our magnet engineering and design team, widely recognized as the finest in the world.

The National High Magnetic Field Laboratory offers the Dirac Postdoctoral Fellowship, a two-year (renewable for an additional year) postdoctoral fellowship in condensed matter theory. The program is designed for Ph.D.'s with a research interest in any of the condensed matter areas represented by the three sites of the National MagLab. In particular, this year, we are looking for applicants interested in any of the following research topics: unconventional superconductivity, strongly correlated electron systems, magnetism, 2D moiré/graphene/TMD systems, and plasmonics.

Summer school accommodation for out-of-town participants and faculty is at the Hyatt House Tallahassee Capitol-University. The hotel is located at, 1100 Railroad Ave, Tallahassee, FL 32310.
