The CIRCUIT (Cohort-based Integrated Research Community for Undergraduate Innovation and Trailblazing) program at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) offers undergraduate students an opportunity to participate in cutting-edge research while building skills to make significant contributions to science. Diverging from traditional summer internships, CIRCUIT students participate in a yearlong cohort-based research experience as integral members of APL project teams and participate in unique, hands-on learning in a fun, collaborative environment. The program provides training and mentoring to support students in the broader research community.
What it entails:
Participation begins with spring training (15 hours per week). The summer component includes full-time (40 hours per week) paid, on-site employment at APL followed by a part-time (20 hours per week) school-year commitment with opportunities to earn academic credit. The summer session includes workshops and seminars designed to enhance students’ research skills, as well as professional development.
Academic Interests (BUT, all majors are eligible, you just need interest!): Applied Math & Statistics, Biology, Biomedical Engineering, Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Molecular & Cellular Biology, Neuroscience, Planetary Science
