This summer, Los Alamos National Laboratory will be hosting the twenty-seventh edition of the Los Alamos Dynamics Summer School (LADSS) – a 10-week research and education program held in Los Alamos, NM. Links to more information are available at https://ladss.lanl.gov, including payment information for the fellowship appointment and instructions on how to apply.
We are seeking students with academic focuses in engineering (including mechanical, aerospace, structural, civil, electrical, and nuclear), as well as those in computer science, physics, and applied math. Please pass this solicitation on to prospective students and directly encourage those which you feel are well suited for the program to apply. Offer letters will be given to accepted applicants on a rolling basis throughout the early application period, so we encourage students to apply early to have the greatest chance of securing a position in the program.
LADSS aims to motivate U.S. citizens to attend graduate school and establish a pipeline for LANL career opportunities. Therefore, the students you solicit need to be U.S. citizens (dual citizenship accepted), and they should be of sufficient academic standing to be credible candidates for graduate school. As a reference point, the 400+ students that have taken part in the first twenty-six schools had undergraduate GPA’s ranging from 3.0 – 4.0, with a mean undergraduate GPA of approximately 3.8.
If you have any questions about the summer school, please contact us at ladss@lanl.gov and we will be happy to answer them.
Thanks,
LADSS Co-Leads
