Pick your advisor before you accept the PhD position.
- cycomanic 4y agoI'm actually very surprised by many of the posts here. I know that in the humanities advisors are often picked which are only partly related to the research question. But I would have expected to find many more natural science/engineering PhD here. In those areas picking an advisor is directly linked to picking a topic, i.e. you pick the advisor because you want to work in his area of expertise.
- chrisseaton 4y agoRight - you should apply to an advisor and compromise on the university, not apply to a university and compromise on the advisor.
