SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on internship opportunities for recent graduates with a BS in Physics, specifically in the fields of Quantum Information and plasma physics. Participants recommend reaching out to professors directly to inquire about available internships, as personal connections can lead to opportunities. The SULI program is mentioned as a potential internship for recent graduates, although it is noted that it is only applicable to those in the United States. The conversation emphasizes the importance of proactive communication in securing internships.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Quantum Information and plasma physics concepts
  • Familiarity with academic networking and outreach
  • Knowledge of internship application processes
  • Basic resume and cover letter writing skills
NEXT STEPS
  • Research Quantum Information internships at universities and research institutions
  • Learn about the SULI program and its eligibility requirements
  • Explore international internship opportunities in plasma physics
  • Develop skills in professional email communication for networking
USEFUL FOR

Recent physics graduates, students considering graduate studies in Quantum Information or plasma physics, and individuals seeking internships or fellowships in scientific research.

I have recently graduated with a BS in Physics and have not decided what field to pursue in my graduate studies and may wait a couple of months (up to a year) until I enroll.
I am mostly interested in Quantum Information (both software and hardware-wise) and plasma physics (fusion).

I was wondering if there are some internships/fellowships I can pursue in the meantime, which I might be eligible for given my current academic status.

Thank you.

There are many groups in quantum information who might offer (paid) internships. I found mine through emailing professors, including my transcript and resume. Are you in America?

I am not.
I thought about it a while back and i will be sending an email to a professor soon.
Thanks for your reply.

Some of the undergraduate internships might include recent graduates as well. SULI is a good example of this.

The OP indicated that he/she is not in the US. SULI will be irrelevant.
