Research Opportunities for Undergraduates

The NCSU Astrophysics group has long enjoyed the participation of undergraduates in active research projects. The role of students ranges from assistance in data analysis of X-ray and radio observations, to fully independent research projects. In addition to working part time during the semester, each summer, several students immerse themselves in full time astrophysics research.

Astronomy students are always well represented at the NCSU Undergraduate Research Symposium each spring. Students also present their work at the SPS section of the SESAPS meeting, and at semi-annual meetings of the American Astronomical Society.

Students interested in undergraduate astrophysics research at NCSU should contact one of the faculty members for more information.
