Graduate Educational Opportunities at the Magnet Lab
Graduate Opportunities at the Lab
Graduate students and postdoctoral fellows who want research experience at the cutting edge of magnetic field, pressure and temperature need look no further than the Magnet Lab. Research at the lab covers many disciplines - physics, biology, chemistry, engineering - and all the combinations of each you can imagine.
The state-of-the-art research facilities give students access to tools that exist no where else in the world, because lab engineers design and build our magnets, many of which hold world records for strength of field.

The three-campus Magnet Lab is operated by Florida State University in Tallahassee, the University of Florida in Gainesville and Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, with each site specializing in a different area of high-field research. The relationship between the campuses presents graduate students and postdocs with myriad opportunities.
Features and benefits of graduate study at the Magnet Lab include:
- In 2011, 35 undergraduates, 149 graduate students and 55 postdocs were affiliated with the Magnet Lab.
- Magnet Lab faculty serve on more than 90 graduate committees.
- In 2011, 31 Magnet Lab-affiliated graduate students earned doctoral degrees.
- In 2011, 19 undergraduates participated in mentorships at the Magnet Lab.
- In 2011, about 1,300 scientists conducted research at our facilities in Tallahassee, Gainesville and Los Alamos National Laboratory; many gave open seminars and talks.
- In 2011, the laboratory hosted two major conferences and three workshops that attracted more than 600 participants.
