Student Research Grants Competition Applications are open for the second cycle of the 2022-2023 Student Research Grants Competition (SRGC). Graduate students who are planning travel or have traveled starting between October 1 and December 31 are eligible to apply in the current cycle. More information on upcoming quarterly cycles can be found on the Student Research Grants Competition (SRGC) website. https://grad.wisc.edu/funding/grants-competition/
Priority is given to dissertators and final-year MFA students, and to those who have not previously received an SRGC Research Travel or Conference Presentation Award. Award levels are $1,500 for Research Travel awards and $600 or $1,200 for Conference Presentation funds.
We have streamlined the application to make it less time-consuming for applicants, and established clear application opening, closing, and decision dates to manage applicants’ expectations. Please note that we will receive many, many more applications than we will be able to fund. We also cannot accelerate the selection process or give early consideration to applicants planning travel. Some of those who apply will be applying for reimbursement of past travel.
Contact srgc@grad.wisc.edu with questions.
Get Involved Gender Minorities and Women in Physics (GMaWiP) GMaWiP is a group for women and gender minorities (including trans and nonbinary people) at all levels in academia interested in physics. Our meetings have been made up of grad students, undergrads, faculty, staff, and postdocs. We provide support and advocacy for all GM&W and other minoritized groups in physics. Join our email list (for both GM&W and allies) to hear about all our events and activities!
Physics Graduate Student Council (PGSC) PGSC is a group of physics graduate students at UW-Madison working to improve the well-being and success of graduate students in the Department of Physics. Current Physics graduate students can participate in or help organize one of many activities we plan to host this year. Consider joining one or more of our four committees if you would like to get involved.
Memberships Available: UW-Madison APS Chapter The American Physical Society (APS) has approved UW-Madison for an APS Chapter, which is a new program for graduate students and early career scientists (defined as having received their PhD within the past five years). There are no fees or responsibilities required to be a member of the chapter and the chapter can request speakers from the APS and will receive a small grant every 6 months. In addition, chapter members who are also APS members may have the opportunity to apply for certain travel grants. More information on the program can be found here. For more information, contact Luca Riitano. Important Dates November 14: Spring 2023 enrollment begins November 24: Deadline for graduate students to change variable credits, request pass/fail or credit/audit November 25: Deadline for students to drop/add a fall term course (after: need academic dean approval) December 14: Deadline for students to withdraw from fall term courses December 14: Last day of instructions for Fall 2022 term December 25: Fall 2022 Grades Post January 24: Spring 2023 Instruction Begins
Professional Development
Inclusive Teaching Workshop: Responding in the Moment Tuesday, November 22 ⋅ 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM Union South As students interact with you and each-other, how do you respond to “hot moments” or “difficult discussions” in the classroom? This workshop is designed for graduate students and post-docs looking to build skills for both current and future teaching roles, and all current and future instructors are welcome to join.
Aspects of prejudice, privilege and power regularly impact undergraduates on our campuses. Without training, knowing how to address these inequities effectively can be uncomfortable and challenging. This session emphasizes opportunities to “say the words,” offering practice in deconstructing conversations and receiving feedback.

Quibit x Quibit is Hiring Quantum Teaching Assistants! Qubit by Qubit (QxQ) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to training the future diverse quantum workforce. We are pioneering innovative programs for students in middle school through college with the goal of making quantum computing accessible to students around the world, particularly students historically underrepresented in STEM.
We are looking for Teaching Assistants (TAs) who will support our Summer 2022 and Academic Year 2022-2023 programs. TAs are an integral part of all of our educational programs. They lead lab sections - guiding students through quantum coding exercises and reviewing concepts introduced in lecture - and support other teaching and curriculum development needs. TAs are often asked to participate in special events to talk with students about their personal experiences in college and graduate school. As an organization that serves a diverse group of students, we are strongly focused on ensuring our instructional team reflects the diversity of our students.
Working with QxQ, TAs will refine their own quantum computing skills, get the chance to work with leaders in quantum education, and make a lasting impact on students around the world.
This role is entirely remote. TAs will be paid a stipend commensurate with experience and based on the amount of time they work weekly. For all programs, TAs will be required to participate in training on the curriculum and teaching best practices.
