It's completely reasonable to just e-mail him directly. Generally you would explain in the first few sentences what your connection is and how you found his e-mail address.
I've done similar with good results. People are usually a lot more willing to help if you have anything in common at all.
- iamshs 14y agoThank you. I exactly did that. Introduced how we have common connection, and then 3-4 lines about me, and then asked advice to be a successful applicant towards this specific position. We share same supervisor and same lab members, so I am hopeful this will be a good fruitful exchange. And in general, I will keep this advice in mind for future. Thank you.
