Looking for remote internships to learn Physics through developing an intuition for research

AI Thread Summary
An electronics engineer is seeking remote internships in cosmology to enhance skills and improve graduate candidacy. The discussion highlights that most internships typically require candidates to be in their third or fourth year of a physics degree, making it competitive for those without a strong physics background. It is suggested that reaching out to professors for potential student projects could be beneficial. The conversation also touches on the relevance of having a foundational physics course, indicating that it may not be sufficient for internship qualifications.

Hi, I am an electronics engineer and am looking for ways to do remote internships in the field of cosmology(a field I want to actually pursue) to gain a better understanding and hopefully build skills that would make me a better graduate candidate to study the subject further from the best. Thanks for reading!

Do you have an undergraduate education in physics?
I ask because most, if not all, "internships" or research assistant-type positions will usually look for candidates who are in their third or fourth year of a physics degree. Or at least, when they become available, those are the candidates who will be competing for the opportunities. If you have a competitive background, then a lot of such position can be found through contacting your professors and asking if the know of anyone who has a student project available.

I had a course in the first year of engineering in Physics. Does that count?
 
No
 
TL;DR Summary: What topics to cover to safely say I know arithmetic ? I am learning arithmetic from Indian NCERT textbook. Currently I have finished addition ,substraction of 2 digit numbers and divisions, multiplication of 1 digit numbers. I am moving pretty slowly. Can someone tell me what topics to cover first to build a framework and then go on in detail. I want to learn fast. It has taken me a year now learning arithmetic. I want to speed up. Thanks for the help in advance. (I also...
Hi community My aim is to get into research about atoms, specifically, I want to do experimental research that explores questions like: 1. Why do Gallium/Mercury have low melting points 2. Why are there so many exceptions and inconsistencies when it comes to explaining molecular structures / reaction mechanisms in inorganic and organic chemistry 3. Experimental research about fundamental Quantum Mechanics, such as the one being followed by Hiroshima university that proved that observing...
guys i am currently studying in computer science engineering [1st yr]. i was intrested in physics when i was in high school. due to some circumstances i chose computer science engineering degree. so i want to incoporate computer science engineering with physics and i came across computational physics. i am intrested studying it but i dont know where to start. can you guys reccomend me some yt channels or some free courses or some other way to learn the computational physics.
