PeopleslashStudent Opportunities

MIT's Institute for Soldier Nanotechnologies (ISN) is a partnership of MIT, the Army, and industry to apply innovative nanotechnology to improving the survivability of the the soldier of the future. Students, both graduate and undergraduate, conduct much of the research that goes on at the ISN.

Graduate Students
The ISN is not an academic department at MIT and thus does not accept students directly. Students wishing to perform master's or PhD-level research on ISN-affiliated projects may do so by applying for admission to one of the academic departments to which an ISN faculty member belongs, then choosing an ISN-affiliated faculty member as a research advisor. Cross-over is possible: for example, a materials science and engineering student may choose an advisor from the chemistry department, etc. Graduate admissions information is available from individual academic departments:

Undergraduate Students
Most UROP positions at the ISN are filled directly through the faculty member(s) supervising specific research projects. However, from time to time, general ISN research staff have UROP positions available. For more information, see our page on the UROP web site.
