Ask HN: Is there anyone with whom I can do remote research work?

  Have you tried contacting any academic staff from your degree you're on good terms with?

    Hi barry0079 Yes, I did. Unfortunately no one interested in working remotely. That's why I posted it over here.

  Not an answer, but just wanted to give a heads up that your linkedin URL shows a blank page with a linkedin login dialog and you may be losing good contacts because of their auth wall. Consider posting your CV on your own website or some publicly accessible website.

    Thank you very much for your point. I should have thought about it. I will make my website soon :) Here is the link to my cv - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1RUpDfhM1Un1_Pg14smt_Nhd7f7f07uXF/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/1RUpDfhM1Un1_Pg14smt_Nhd7f7f...

      Very impressive CV. You had a busy and productive last couple of years. Major point: you have worked on a large variety of very different tasks, which is exactly the right thing to do at this stage and will benefit you hugely in the long run. However, that means you will need something other than your CV that indicates some sort of focus in an area that will likely interest you longterm. People that hire want to know that you will still be around tomorrow. For academics, "being around" does not necessarily mean their research group but extends to the general field. You should start by communicating the direction(s) that you would like to pursue when making something like this post. Long term, I would try to build a portfolio of small projects or one larger project in that area. Minor point: "Wrote couple of technical articles" is a bit colloquial and jars with the language in the rest of the CV. Use "several" instead of "couple of".

        "couple of" means 2. "several" means more than that, generally 3 or 4. They have equal levels of formality.

  >I want to collaborate on research ideas and want to do something. Nobody will feed you because your proposition does not make sense for corporations or academy, so I have a one year plan that will hopefully put you on the right path: help yourself by browsing the 2018 arXiv.org literature in a CS domain you really like for the long term of your career, start reading some papers in detail and try implementations, slowly but steadily learn more and become an expert in that niche while interacting with its communities and conferences, finally produce a case study showing that you can make a contribution. If all goes well, this is like a remote MSc that might be enough to get your foot somewhere on your terms.

    Yes, that makes sense. Thank you for your advice :)
