The SURF projects on offer will be in the areas of NuSTAR and UVEX science and be mentored by the staff scientists and postdocs of the group. For more information on the HEAG, its members, research, recent activity and previous SURF students visit https://heag.caltech.edu.
Caltech students will be prioritized, however we welcome applications from other universities and will consider them subject to availability. Interested students should email heag[at]caltech[dot]edu listing which areas of HEAG research they are most interested in and which mentors they are most interested in working with, listed by preference, and a CV. We expect to carry out interviews with prospective candidates by the end of January/beginning of February in preparation for the SURF application deadline on February 22, 2026. We will consider all applications received by January 20.
The HEAG also welcomes WAVE students which has a separate application procedure. These are due January 9, 2026. Find out more here (https://sfp.caltech.edu/undergraduate-research/programs/wavefellows).

We seek a dependable student who is excited to join the Isotoparium for 10 weeks to help in the systematic study of Ca isotopes in urine samples from patients both healthy and suffering bone mass loss. The student will work in an ultra-clean, metal-free laboratory to (i) digest samples using acid attacks techniques, (ii) extract Ca from the samples using automated low-pressure liquid-chromatography techniques, and (iii) measure the Ca isotope composition on a state-of-the-art Multi-Collector Inductively-Coupled-Plasma Mass-Spectrometer (MC-ICP-MS). The student will also be expected to help with recruiting new participants for the study, and interpreting the data to understand their implications for the use of Ca isotopes are a tracer of bone health in humans. The student will be mentored primarily by two postdocs leading the study, and will be exposed and trained in methods that are only available in a handful of laboratories around the world.

Upon joining the lab, students will refine their initial project ideas, developed after reviewing our publications and background information, and align them with ongoing team efforts. They will collaborate closely with lab members, contributing to both the conceptual foundations and practical implementation of active projects. This integrated, team-based model has consistently been highly productive and intellectually rewarding for participants.
