STScI is pleased to announce that applications are now open for the JWST Summer School: High-Redshift Transients with JWST.  The JWST Summer School will be held August 4-15, 2025 at the Space Telescope Science Institute and host approximately 50 in-person participants. We encourage early career scientists (including undergraduate and graduate students), new JWST researchers, as well as any researchers new to the high-z transient field to apply.

The school will last two weeks: The first week will focus on high-z transient science, featuring lectures relevant to the field; the second week will focus on observational and analytical techniques, where participants will learn to create a JWST program and analyze and exploit JWST high-z transient data. A preliminary agenda for the Summer School has been added to the event website.

Please visit the event website to submit an application by April 4, 2025, 11:59 pm EDT.  Applicants will be notified of their acceptance by April 25, 2025. Virtual participation will be possible during the first week of the school only. Virtual participants do not need to apply, but are still required to register. Registration will open in late April 2025 after applicants have been notified.
