Discussion Overview

The discussion centers around the search for internships or fellowships in physics for recent graduates, particularly those interested in Quantum Information and plasma physics. Participants share their experiences and suggestions regarding potential opportunities while considering the geographical limitations of the original poster (OP).

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Technical explanation, Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • The OP is seeking internships or fellowships while deciding on graduate studies in Quantum Information and plasma physics.
  • One participant suggests that many groups in quantum information may offer paid internships and shares their experience of finding an internship by emailing professors.
  • Another participant mentions that some undergraduate internships may also accept recent graduates, citing the SULI program as an example.
  • A later reply points out that the OP is not in the US, suggesting that the SULI program may not be applicable to them.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants present differing views on the applicability of certain internship programs based on the OP's location, indicating that there is no consensus on which opportunities are relevant for the OP.

Contextual Notes

The discussion does not resolve the question of specific internship opportunities available outside the US, nor does it clarify the eligibility criteria for various programs mentioned.

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.
