Internship Programs
Join our vibrant internship programs and immerse yourself in cutting-edge research in theoretical and computational physics.
Program Overview
Dive into our vibrant year-long internship at ITCPR, where you'll immerse yourself in cutting-edge theoretical and computational physics research while receiving regular guidance and feedback.
- First 3 months - Foundations & Skill-Building: Begin with an intensive training block focused on essential concepts, coding and data-analysis tools, and good research practices. Activities include guided lectures, paper-reproduction exercises, and literature reviews—everything you need to speak the language of modern physics research.
- Monthly evaluations, year-round: At the end of every month you'll meet with mentors to review your progress, set fresh goals, and make sure your learning path stays on track.
- Next 9 months - Project Immersion: Equipped with new skills, you'll join an active research team, tackle real-world problems, and contribute meaningful results— whether through simulations, theoretical modeling, or data analysis.
Throughout the entire year you'll collaborate with motivated scientists, expand your professional network, and help push the boundaries of scientific knowledge—all while benefiting from a structured feedback loop that keeps your growth front and center.
