If you are interested in joining the TAPIR group, and are already at Caltech, come see us. If you are not employed
by Caltech,
here is how to apply for positions at various levels:
Graduate Students (typically 3/yr join). About 50% of TAPIR students enter the Physics graduate program. About
30% of
TAPIR students enter the Astronomy graduate program (which has separate admissions and requirements
from Physics).
About 20% enter
from outside the division: Applied Mathematics, Applied Physics, etc. All graduate
students receive full
financial support, as explained here.
Undergraduate Students. See also financial aid. In Theoretical Astrophysics, we often have SURF summer research
opportunities (particularly for upper-level students who have learned more theoretical physics), and work-study
opportunities.
