“I enjoyed doing research in astronomy/astrophysics and working in a professional setting in the field. The experience helped me decide that astrophysics research is the career path I want to take.”

Research Assistant

June 2018 - August 2018 Cambridge, MA
“The faculty members at the CfA focused on providing a challenging work environment while also mentoring and tutoring along the way. I feel like I learned so much more in a short time than I could have through any other internship program. Special thanks to all of the CfA faculty members who help arrange and execute REU programs.”
