Undergraduate Opportunities
- For undergraduates seeking research opportunities more generally within OSU, the best way to find a research position is to meet with faculty directly. (Research groups don’t post positions through OSU.)
- Look into the faculty at OSU and the research they conduct. Interested in the MRSEC? Visit out our People page.
- Meet with professors about their research and projects; share your enthusiasm and skills!
- Network with students and faculty at events. It’s a great way to learn more about a group or project and get involved.

- NYU Center for Quantum Phenomena, Kent Research Group
Research focuses on the study of magnetization switching by spin-transfer torques in nanometer scale magnetic tunnel junction devices. The goal is to characterize, model, optimize and understand the ns-time scale switching characteristics of such devices. Successful candidates will use and further develop high-speed electrical test stands and an automated wafer prober. Experience with electronic transport measurements, magnetic materials, microwave techniques and magnetic device characterization is desirable.
Applications, including a CV with the names of three references, should be sent to Prof. Kent by email, andy.kent@nyu.edu. Further information about Prof. Kent’s group at NYU can be found at www.physics.nyu.edu/kentlab/. - The Skyrmion Project
