Our Physics and Astronomy majors play an important role in the exciting, cutting-edge research that takes place at Penn. About half of our majors are working in a research lab/group at any given time. Students who are interested in pursuing a PhD are strongly encouraged to get engaged in research before applying to graduate schools. It is never too early or late to get involved!
A useful guide to how to get started with research can be found here
Students can contact individual faculty members and ask for opportunities and/or visit the CURF site to search for open positions.
