Physics Internships in Physics for post-undergrads

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on a recent physics graduate exploring options for internships or fellowships while deciding on a graduate study focus, particularly in Quantum Information and plasma physics. Participants suggest that many groups in quantum information may offer paid internships, emphasizing the importance of reaching out to professors with a resume and transcript. However, one contributor notes that specific programs like SULI, which could be beneficial for recent graduates, are limited to the U.S. and thus not applicable for the original poster, who is located elsewhere. The conversation highlights the need for international opportunities in the fields of interest.

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.

Hello, I graduated from undergrad a few years ago with a Major in Physics and minor in Electrical Engineering. I tried to get experience working on and testing circuits through my professor who studied Neutrinos, however covid caused the opportunity to go away and I graduated with no experience or internships. I have attempted to break into the engineering industry with no success. Right now I am considering going for a Masters in Electrical Engineering and I need advice on if this would be...
I don't know if anyone on here works for any of the well known defense companies of your country, whichever country you are from?? Also, if you choose to work in one, do you think the engineering education provide from your school would adequately prepare you for the job. What do I mean by that? Well if you work at say Lockheed Martin and you work in the latest iteration of a missile or if you work at Pratt & Whitney, they assign you to work in the team helping out with building the jet...
