in the MSU Accelerator Science and
Engineering Traineeship (ASET) program
will be certified, well-trained, and ready
for productive careers in areas where there
are critical workforce needs nationally.
The ASET program offers master’s and
PhD graduate students in physics and
astronomy and engineering an exciting
training opportunity in accelerator science
and engineering.
The ASET program at MSU leverages unique campusbased
equipment, systems, and experts at FRIB,
extensive ASET faculty and research supports in several
MSU academic programs, and collaboration resources at
national laboratories. Partnering academic programs at
MSU include the Department of Physics and Astronomy
and the College of Engineering.
Support graduate assistantships in ASET is provided by
the DOE-SC Office of High Energy Physics, DOE-SC Office
of Nuclear Physics, and the National Science Foundation.
After initial training at MSU, trainees will be placed in
national laboratories to further their training.
The MSU ASET program is part of MSU’s number-oneranked
nuclear physics graduate program, according to
the U.S. News & World Report’s rankings of graduate
schools. Twenty-six percent of U.S. nuclear physics
graduate students receive part of their education at FRIB.
Make ASET an asset to
your career path.
