Summer

Stanford undergraduates interested in summer research with the XOC group should apply through the Physics Department's Summer Research Program or Stanford's Major Grant program. Please look at this list of tentatively identified project areas within the group, and submit a short form to let us know if you're potentially interested in one or more of them. We aim to hold an "open house" early in the Winter quarter with students who would like to work with us the following summer (see the Google form for details). Please email xoc_ug_recruit@stanford.edu with any questions about this process.

Academic Year

Queries from Stanford undergrads about research opportunities during regular teaching quarters via Physics 190 or Physics 205 should be addressed to Steve Allen. Please see this list of current, tentatively identified project areas.

External students

We invite undergraduate students at other institutions who are interested in working with us for a summer to apply to any of the programs listed on the KIPAC undergraduate research opportunities website. Students accepted through the SULI, Cal-Bridge Summer and Leadership Alliance SR-EIP programs are all eligible to be matched with our group. Please reach out to xoc_ug_recruit@stanford.edu if you are thinking about applying and have any questions about our research, but note we are not directly involved in the admissions process for these programs.
