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
 
Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...
Yesterday, 9/5/2025, when I was surfing, I found an article The Schwarzschild solution contains three problems, which can be easily solved - Journal of King Saud University - Science ABUNDANCE ESTIMATION IN AN ARID ENVIRONMENT https://jksus.org/the-schwarzschild-solution-contains-three-problems-which-can-be-easily-solved/ that has the derivation of a line element as a corrected version of the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein’s field equation.
