Physics vacation work in Australia (or the southern hemisphere)

[dr_nic]

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone could point me to physics labs or really any place to do with physics (not engineering) that take on students in the summer holidays. I am currently in my 2nd year of a B Eng / B Adv. Science degree in Australia. I've looked up places to do with engineering but my passion lies with physics and so (even though I may make less) I would love to find somewhere I could do pure physics.

If you aren't sure about places that do this sort of thing could you just reply with physics labs that are in Australia that I can contact as I have had no success in finding any (aside from CSIRO and ANSTO).

Thanks in advance

for any help you can provide!

Hello,

I am a physicist and I understand your passion for pure physics. Australia has many great opportunities for students interested in physics during the summer holidays. Some potential places to look for vacation work in physics include universities, government research organizations such as CSIRO and ANSTO, and private research companies. Additionally, you may want to reach out to individual physics professors or researchers to inquire about any potential summer research opportunities they may have available.

Some specific physics labs in Australia that you may want to contact include the Australian Institute of Physics, the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation, the Australian Astronomical Observatory, and the Australian Synchrotron. These labs may offer summer research programs or may be able to connect you with other opportunities in the field of physics.

I wish you the best of luck in finding a physics vacation work opportunity that aligns with your interests and goals. Don't hesitate to reach out to individual labs or researchers to inquire about potential opportunities. Good luck!
