Internships in physics for summer?

AI Thread Summary
A student from Kiev Polytechnic Institute is seeking internship or temporary job opportunities in the U.S. related to physics during the Work and Travel Cultural Exchange Program. The program typically offers customer service positions, but the student prefers roles that utilize their background in physics, math, and programming. Responses indicate that it may be challenging to find such positions at this late stage in the summer job employment period, as many opportunities had application deadlines in March and April, particularly for mathematics and physics research programs.

Hello!

I'm a student from Kiev Polytechnic Institute, Ukraine. This summer I'm coming to the US for Work and Travel Cultural Exchange Program. Can anyone tell me if it is possible to find any kind of an internship or a temporary job related to physics, if so where can I apply for such a positions or where should I write to ask for such a position.
The program propoese jobs in customers services, but I have strong background in physics/math/programming, so I'd like to know if I have any opportunities to not to get employed in a restaurant or whateva.

Thank you for your attention.

Anton.

I don't know if there are any of these types of positions available now. it's pretty late into the summer job employment period. i know a lot of the positions i applied for had deadlines in march and april, but that was for mathematics, so maybe it's different for physics.

good luck

Same applies for physics research programs. It's too late.
 
Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...
After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...
I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...
