1. Fermilab

Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) plans to leverage the laboratory’s long tradition of hosting internships in high-energy physics and cosmology by setting up a mentoring laboratory program for undergraduate students to study data and model driven Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) science at the laboratory’s Center for Particle Astrophysics. The laboratory program will form an intern group that will explore the science of combining of LSST analysis using DC2 simulations and CosmoSIS modeling. Interns will be empowered to learn from each other while under the supervision of experienced cosmic frontier scientists, a model that has been successful in the laboratory setting. In addition, many of these undergraduate interns will form future candidate graduate student classes
