You don’t just dream about science — you want to build the facilities where it’s born. The Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR) has created the Engineering and Physics Training (EPT) for talented engineers and future scientists — a unique platform where theory meets metal, code meets detectors, and your ideas meet real experiments.
What is the Engineering and Physics Training?
The EPT is a set of project-oriented activities based on real scientific and engineering problems in various fields related to scientific facilities. Participants in the training have the opportunity not only to observe science, but also to design, assemble, test, and operate components similar to those used in world-class facilities — such as the NICA accelerator complex, the Superheavy Element Factory, and much more.
What will you do?
- Develop a preamplifier for a cosmic radiation detector.
- Design, assemble, and test a complete model of the vacuum system of a modern accelerator.
- Work with automation and control systems in real time.
- Conduct experiments with different types of radiation using modern particle detectors.
- Gain practical insight into the fundamentals of dosimetry and radiation safety.
- Learn how the above-mentioned and many other problems are solved at real JINR facilities.
What opportunities do you get?
- Access to both unique educational facilities and real JINR facilities.
- Work under the guidance of leading engineers and scientists of the Institute.
- A career start in high-tech engineering — at JINR, CERN, Rosatom, Roscosmos, and the IT and high-tech sectors.
Who can join?
The training is aimed at undergraduate, graduate, and postgraduate students in technical and physical-mathematical specialties related to charged particle accelerators and other scientific facilities.
