I'm currently studying in a Canadian University(SFU). I've come to notice that the astronomy/physics portion here is lacking. There are a few astrophyics/cosmology research teams but they are small and encompass a few graduate students. I'm a first year, I really want to get involved in research as soon as possible in astrophysics. I talked to one of the professors who specializes in cosmology, and he said that I can come to the weekly cosmology meetings that we have. He as well talked about his current research (not sure if I'm allowed to disclose it), but basically improving the CMB image. He said he could adopt me and I could do "numerical calculations". My other friends have been adopted by interesting research groups, like quantum computing labs, biophysics, condensed matter etc. I just feel like I'm not getting the same opportunity as they are.
Although, I feel like that job of "numerical calculations" is more of a grunt job and it would not be beneficial for my research experience. I'm super motivated to do something meaningful but I just feel like I'm not getting the opportunity to.
