Post doc in physics after bachelors in engineering

[dpa]

hi all,
i am dead certain i want to be physicist. But seems i will not get colleges in usa. Am a senior at high school and international.
Physics education at my country for bachelors is very poor.
So i am thinking of doing bachelors in engr here and applying for phd physics. How difficult is it to get assistantship for physics phd after b.e.?
Will that be no.

Post-docs are what you get after you've finished your Ph.D (post-doctoral appointments is the full name). If you mean that you need a job, like a teaching assistantship or a research assistantship, then yes Ph.D programs in STEM fields are almost always funded (if you don't get funded, you should not do it).
