Prospective Students
There are a variety of exciting opportunities for students in the Nuclear Astrophysics Group at TRIUMF. From summer coop positions to Masters and Doctorate degrees - every level of student has participated in our experiments. Students get the chance to become specialized in a particular experiment or facility, while also participating in a broad range of other projects alongside other students and academic and lab staff. Students will learn how to operate facilities like DRAGON and TUDA, getting the opportunity to take part in unique, world-class research activities, collecting and analyzing real data, under the supervision of TRIUMF Research Scientists.
