Job description

Overview
The WDTS RENEW Plasma Pathways Summer School (PPSS) is seeking graduate students to help deliver content to a cohort of 15 high school students from Trenton CHS, Ewing High School, Hamilton West High School, Steinert High School, Nottingham High School, and Lawrence High School. The 4-week program in July prepares students for internships by addressing gaps between high school course offerings and the skills/knowledge required for high-level research at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL). The curriculum is largely project-based and introduces PPPL's research focuses, including fusion energy, microelectronics, and quantum information science.
A U.S. Department of Energy National Laboratory managed by Princeton University, the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) is tackling the world's toughest science and technology challenges using plasma, the fourth state of matter. With more than 70 years of history, PPPL is a leader in the science and engineering behind the development of fusion energy, a potentially limitless energy source. PPPL is also using its expertise to advance research in the areas of microelectronics, quantum sensors and devices, and sustainability sciences. Whether it be through science, engineering, technology or professional services, every team member has an opportunity to contribute to our mission and vision. Come join us!
