====== Joining My Research Group ======

===== Prospective Postdocs =====

With its huge breadth of research interests and expertise, the Center for Theoretical Physics at MIT is a great place to do postdoctoral research.  Please [[jthaler@jthaler.net|contact me]] for further information about the group.  Formal CTP postdoc applications are available on [[http://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/MIT/CTP/|Academic Jobs Online]].

Exceptional postdoctoral candidates should consider applying for the [[http://mit.edu/physics/research/pappalardo/index.html|Pappalardo Fellowship]] at MIT.  In addition, there is funding for LHC-related research through the [[http://www.pas.rochester.edu/~orr/LHC-TI/Home.html|LHC Theory Initiative]], and I am happy to sponsor one LHC-TI fellow each year.

===== Prospective Graduate Students =====

I am currently taking MIT graduate students interested in all aspects of physics in and beyond the standard model.  If you are interested, please [[jthaler@jthaler.net|send me an email]] with your CV and previous research experience.

===== Prospective Undergraduate Students =====

To do meaningful research in theoretical particle physics at the undergraduate level, you must have taken at least a course on Relativity (8.033) and a full year of Quantum Mechanics (8.05/8.06).  My preference is to work with students who have taken some graduate-level courses at MIT.  Funding is available through the [[http://web.mit.edu/UROP/|MIT Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP)]] program.  Please [[jthaler@jthaler.net|contact me]] about possible projects.

===== Prospective High School Students =====

Currently, I am not conducting research with high school students.  However, MIT offers a number of [[http://www.mitadmissions.org/topics/before/summer_programs/|Summer Programs]] for high school students to gain research experience.
