I've been reflecting on the valuable experiences I’ve had during my PhD internship with NSF NCAR - The National Center for Atmospheric Research. I am sharing 3 insights that stood out to me: 💙 Applying my research: As PhD researchers, collaborating with experienced researchers from various fields can influence our research interests. Engaging with different perspectives makes our research focus more defined, leading us to reaffirm our passion for our PhD topic. Simultaneously, we might discover new interests, positioning ourselves as more interdisciplinary researchers. Both paths are equally valid choices, each with its own set of rewards & challenges. Our specialized PhD training can address real-world challenges during an internship by applying our research in new ways and collaborating with non-academic professionals (viewing our research anew during the internship can reveal practical applications beyond our thesis and lab). This approach extends our work’s impact beyond academia. If you're doubting your research skills (a common experience), an internship can help gain confidence (e.g. handling questions from experts) & reinforce your expertise or motivate further growth if needed. This process of self-assessment/learning is crucial for development. 💙 Building community: During an internship, building relationships with mentors & peers creates a lasting network that offers ongoing support and collaboration long after the internship ends. These connections highlight the importance of fostering a strong community within research environments, enhance our professional growth, & provide insights to share with mentees. 💙 Improving or acquiring new skills: The curse of expertise is when we assume others have the same deep understanding of a topic as we do. In reality, this is often not the case, especially in explaining the value of our research. For example, during my internship, I gained experience in explaining my HCI research background, which intersects with disciplines such as computer science, cognitive science, behavioral psychology, and many others. Effectively conveying the significance of your research to those unfamiliar with these overlapping fields can be challenging but important. At an internship, opportunities to practice this delivery can enhance skills like science communication. However, it’s essential to actively identify areas where you feel less confident & seek guidance from mentors to further develop those skills. By taking the initiative, we can improve our ability to communicate the value of our research across different contexts/audiences. Our CV will grow with industry experience indicating that we have made an effort to venture into roles outside of academia during our PhD. This is especially important if your goal is not academia post-graduation but can also be valuable if you remain in academia, as we can be better leaders (or PIs) when we understand the value of PhD internships first-hand.

One more supporting programme for Ukrainian students, thanks for this! At the same time there are some concerns. When we think about brain-drain and brain circulation what would be an outcomes of such kind of programes? Maybe it is worth to foresee in rules as students' commitments to return back to Ukraine and continue their work using gained experience for 2-3 years?

📣 A new internship opportunity with the Advanced Concepts Team! 📣 Topic: Treewidth-aware Quantum Annealing Deadline: 30 November 2023 23:59 CET/CEST Link: https://lnkd.in/eWBNPRkr ==[ Summary ]== The objective of this internship is a hybrid approach for solving QUBOs using tools from structural graph theory. A graph decomposition partitions the QUBO into manageable parts, which can be solved with a conventional solver, and into computationally challenging parts, which get sent to the quantum annealer. The project explores the performance of conventional tools like maximum satisfiability or integer linear programming solvers on the structurally simple parts. Furthermore, it evaluates the obtained speedup if the complex parts of the problem are solved using a quantum annealer. ==[ Objectives ]== The goals of this internship are: ➡️ Developing a script that decomposes a given QUBO using available tree decomposition libraries. ➡️ Collecting benchmarks from previous academic studies and use the decomposition to identify structural easy parts. ➡️ Evaluating the performance of maximum satisfiability or integer linear programming solvers on these easy parts. ➡️ Developing the logic to solve the remaining parts using available quantum annealers using the vendor's API and combining the obtained results with the partial solutions from the previous step. ==[ More information ]== For more information, please check out the full vacancy notice here: https://lnkd.in/eWBNPRkr (Topic 1)

Super grateful to be appreciated on my project on piezoelectric materials by someone as well-versed with this space as Sumaya K.! To answer your question, about which even I contemplate very often, I think its the deep technical/scientific knowledge that is necessary, regardless of the medium through which one acquires it. High-quality information has become super accessible. I can read research papers of world-class standard on material science online, and can learn concepts I don't understand as and when I get stuck. And more importantly, just performing experiments teaches so much! Absorbing scientific information is way easier when you actually do it yourself. Would love to hear others' take on this too!
Yesterday, I was invited to attend a pitching competition featuring students aged 13-24. I was genuinely impressed by their confidence as they presented in front of the judges. Normally, I tend to keep my thoughts to myself, but this experience made me want to share something with all of you. One of the students, just 14 years old and still in high school, presented an amazing project on piezoelectric materials and their potential applications. Her passion for material science was evident, and she was seeking a lab facility to carry out her experiments, as well as an internship or mentorship opportunity. I advised her that it might be better to focus on completing her primary education first, as high school commitments often make it challenging to concentrate on one particular interest. However, another high school student interrupted me, questioning the necessity of a university degree. She argued that one could conduct the same investigations and research without a degree, utilizing online resources instead of traditional, physical tutors. This conversation got me thinking—was I being biased about the importance of a traditional education system?

5 strategies to get into a fully funded PhD program: 1. Gain as much research experience as you can. I went from undergrad straight into a PhD since I had research experiences at different institutions. Most of the summer research opportunities are paid internships. You can find a list of them here⬇️ https://lnkd.in/e-jaPgEY 2. Build a genuine relationship with mentors and faculty for strong recommendation letters. A lot of times it’s not about what you know but WHO you know. You need people to fully support you when completing your PhD applications. 3. Be confident enough to present your research at conferences and symposiums. Showing the admissions committee that you know how to communicate your research to others helps you stand out! 4. Get involved with a training program at your institution that prepares students to pursue a PhD. This also shows admissions committees that you are committed to wanting to complete a PhD. For me, I was a part of the MARC U STAR Program, which is funded by the NIH. The McNair Scholars program is also a good opportunity. I’ve added more information about these programs for your reference. https://lnkd.in/e_nNBunT https://lnkd.in/e_hACEc8 5. If you need more time after college to decide whether a PhD is the right fit for you, join a PREP program at a research institution. This is a paid 1 year internship that gives you a chance to work in a lab and build a research project. It’s also a great chance to build your publication record. More info about institutions with PREP programs is below⬇️ https://lnkd.in/eb7JUGg2 A determined mind will bring positive results! To learn more about the pathway to getting a PhD, follow Scholarly Scouts™️! #PhD #research

Almost approaching the milestones of my undergraduate research internship feels like navigating a winding road filled with ups and downs. In the realm of research, failures often outnumber successes, and progress can feel painstakingly slow. Yet, amidst the challenges, there's a profound journey of learning. Every setback is a lesson, every success a milestone. Reading papers and grasping new concepts are the cornerstones of this journey, shaping not only the research but also the researcher. Embracing the process is key; for in the pursuit of knowledge, every step forward, no matter how small, is a triumph.
