Info session in Zoom on Friday Jan 17, 2025 at 14:15-15:00.
Info session presentation, 2025
The deadline was 31.1.2025 23:59 EET. Apply HERE (the application period was from 1.12.2024 00:00 EET to 31.1.2025 23:59 EET).
Remember to check the Summer Student Guides for CERN (English and Finnish) below! The guides are also accessible at https://wiki.helsinki.fi/X/3214UM (mobile phone friendly).
Supporting Course
The University of Helsinki’s lecture course Computing Methods in High Energy Physics (PAP331) can be useful for a summer internship by providing an opportunity to familiarize oneself in advance with the CMS experiment’s software and gain basic knowledge of the practical programming skills that summer students are likely to need.
CERN Summer Student Opportunities
In addition to HIP’s summer job positions, CERN has its own summer internship program. Applications are submitted directly through CERN’s HR website. More detailed information about the internship positions can be found through the links below:
Note: The application deadline for CERN’s summer internship is January 26, 2025, and for Openlab positions, also January 26, 2025. Since recommendation letters from professors, etc., are required, it is advisable to allow more than just a few days for the application process.
