Program Overview

Each summer the Einstein Summer Undergraduate Research Program (SURP) brings together 50 college students for a one-of-a-kind opportunity to conduct laboratory research at one of the world's top-ranking scientific institutions. The program is designed for undergraduates with a strong background in science who are considering a research career.

Program Features

SURP students arrive at Einstein in early-June for an eight-week laboratory-based work experience. Students are matched to a laboratory in the area of interest they indicate on their application. At the end of the program, students present their research in a poster session.

In addition to research, SURP students participate in a variety of complementary scientific activities:

SURP students are considered members of Einstein’s student body, making them eligible to take part in all social activities on campus. In addition, several trips and activities are planned specifically for SURP students.
