The Racah Institute of Physics hosts an REU program

We are now accepting applications for Summer 2025!

Get a glimpse into research Physics at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem

The Racah Institute of Physics welcomes 2025 applications for a summer research program for undergraduate students:
•    June 3-July 31, 2025
•    Weekly stipend of approximately $250 included 
•    Dormitory housing included
•    Airfare and health insurance not included

Why do an REU at the Racah Institute? Spend your summer in a stimulating environment with peers who are equally excited by Physics and delve into cutting-edge research while personally mentored by a leading researcher in the field.

You’ll immerse yourself in background reading in a particular field of interest, tackle problems and gain deeper understanding, draft results and present them to your peers at the program’s conclusion. And that’s not all! In your spare time, you’ll enjoy the vibrant city of Jerusalem in the company of other international students in the Physics at HUJI, including a series of social and academic activities tailored just for you.

Potential areas of research:

  • Astrophysics
  • quantum optics and information
  • nuclear physics
  • nonlinear and statistical physics

 

Eligibility: Physics majors entering their final year of undergraduate studies, or recent B.A. graduates.
Application: The following documents should be submitted in PDF format to REU.Physics@mail.huji.ac.il

:
•    A one-page statement of mathematical interests
•    Academic transcript (applicants must demonstrate familiarity with core undergraduate subjects) 
•    Two academic letters of recommendation
Note: The two letters should be submitted directly by the recommenders to the email address listed above. Both applicants and recommenders should include the applicant’s name in the email subject line.
