Welcome to SURF

and our currently-under-construction home page.

To find out what SURF is, please read Information for Caltech Students. If you are a student from another university, please read Information for Non-Caltech Students (you may also want to learn more about Caltech). All students should read Guidelines for SURF Proposals.

Announcements of Opportunity for SURF projects are organized by Division: As some projects are interdisciplinary, you might want to check more than one listing.

There are also opportunities at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory as well as Small Business Industrial Associates SURFs which are in industry (and limited to Caltech students only). Up to seven SURF students will create and develop engineering projects for high school science courses in the Young Engineering and Science Scholars Project.
