Has anyone heard from DOE's SULI summer program?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the application process for summer positions in fusion energy research at LBNL and ORNL. Participants share experiences of waiting for responses, with one individual receiving a phone call indicating that decisions are delayed due to uncertainty about funding from Congress. It is noted that ORNL may not be prioritizing fusion research at this time. The SULI program has completed selections as of April 1, but there are indications that the final selection deadline has been extended to May 13, prompting questions about the reasons behind this delay and the current status of applications. Participants are encouraged to check their online application statuses for updates.

Hello,

I applied to work at LBNL or ORNL on fusion energy research this summer and haven't heard anything...have you, from any lab??

Thanks.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
I got a phone call, but he wanted to see what the situation at Congress would be like first before giving me more details on the position.
 
They aren't giving out decisions for awhile. The same thing applies to all other DoE programs. Also I think ORNL isn't focusing on Fusion research.
 
SULI finished making selections for their labs April 1st. If you haven't checked your online application's status, I would do it very soon.
 
@creepy --> Was he concerned in terms of funding to the program?
@crazy --> Do you know why that's the case, I noticed that they pushed back their final selection deadline to May 13th
@Miss --> Like I said above, it looks like they've extended the April 1st deadline, I'm trying to gauge why and what percentage of their selections they have made
 
yes.
 
I’ve been looking through the curricula of several European theoretical/mathematical physics MSc programs (ETH, Oxford, Cambridge, LMU, ENS Paris, etc), and I’m struck by how little emphasis they place on advanced fundamental courses. Nearly everything seems to be research-adjacent: string theory, quantum field theory, quantum optics, cosmology, soft matter physics, black hole radiation, etc. What I don’t see are the kinds of “second-pass fundamentals” I was hoping for, things like...
TL;DR Summary: I want to do a PhD in applied math but I hate group theory, is this a big problem? Hello, I am a second-year math and physics double major with a minor in data science. I just finished group theory (today actually), and it was my least favorite class in all of university so far. It doesn't interest me, and I am also very bad at it compared to other math courses I have done. The other courses I have done are calculus I-III, ODEs, Linear Algebra, and Prob/Stats. Is it a...
