What is the difference between Plasma Engineering Summer vs Plasma Technician?

AspectPlasma Engineering SummerPlasma Technician
CredentialsTypically students or interns with basic engineering or physics backgroundOften requires technical certifications or associate degree in related field
Work EnvironmentResearch labs, university facilities, or industry R&D centersIndustrial or laboratory settings, operating plasma equipment
Job FocusAssisting research projects, data collection, experimental setupMaintaining plasma systems, troubleshooting, and operational tasks

Plasma Engineering Summer roles are usually internship or student positions focused on research and learning, while Plasma Technicians are more hands-on, technical roles requiring specific certifications. Both work in similar environments but differ in responsibilities and experience levels.

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!

  • Help students develop their confidence, STEM identity, and sense of belonging.
  • Expand access to PPPL internships.
  • Share their research experience, in-depth knowledge of plasma physics, technical work, and personal life "outside" physics.
  • Utilize their expertise to teach coding, debugging, advanced math, 3D printing, and the use of AI/machine learning and laboratory techniques in fusion and plasma research.
  • Attend 4-6 one-hour planning meetings via conference call leading up to the Summer School (May-June).
  • Work as a team with the Master Teacher and other Graduate Student Instructors to develop curriculum.
  • Assist participant groups in creating a final presentation.
