🚫 Avoid These 4 Common Mistakes When Applying for Fully Funded PhD Programs 🚫
Applying for a fully funded PhD can be daunting, but steering clear of these common pitfalls can greatly increase your chances of success. Here’s how:
1. Personalize Your Cold Emails ✉️ : Make a strong first impression by tailoring your emails to each professor you're contacting. A well-crafted introduction could lead to interviews, positively influence the admissions committee, and keep you top of mind during the selection process.
2. Enhance Your CV 📝: Your CV should not just list your experiences but highlight them strategically. Use tools like Word, Docs, or LaTeX to format your document neatly, emphasizing key experiences like your degree, research projects, and relevant coursework in bold. Consistency in formatting is key.
3. Strengthen Your Letters of Recommendation 📚: Engage with your recommenders well in advance. Provide them with your CV and a clear explanation of your motivations for pursuing graduate studies and how their mentorship has impacted you. This encourages them to write detailed and supportive letters.
4. Develop a Meaningful Statement of Purpose 🔖: Extend beyond the contents of your CV. Illustrate how your experiences have prepared you for graduate studies and discuss how you intend to contribute to the academic community. Your SoP should articulate your unique perspective and value to the program.

🩺 Assistant Professors: Fresh Blood in Research/Academia 💡
Many of my students have shared that they often receive rejection emails when applying for positions. 📩 When I looked into it, I found that they were mostly writing to full professors.
My advice? Always reach out to Assistant Professors! They are the fresh blood in research and academia, eager to build their profiles, labs, and reputations. They are actively looking for motivated students to join their teams. 👩🔬👨🔬
💡 Tips for Approaching Assistant Professors:
Do Your Homework: Research their work and mention how your interests align with theirs. 🔍
Personalize Your Email: Avoid generic messages. Tailor your email to show genuine interest. 📝
Be Clear and Concise: Mention your skills, experiences, and how you can contribute to their research. 🎯
Follow Up: If you don't hear back, a polite follow-up can keep you on their radar. ⏳
In conclusion, Assistant Professors are often the best people to approach when looking to secure a position in academia. They’re motivated, enthusiastic, and eager to work with new talent! 🚀

In recent months, I had the privilege of participating in two panels on preparing for academic job search.
The first panel, organised by Drs. Pelin Pekgun and Andreea Popescu, was part of the #INFORMS Doctoral Colloquium, where I joined Drs. Tinglong Dai and Anyan Qi. The second panel was part of the Cambridge Judge Business School Doctoral Seminar Series, organised by our PhD Programme Director Prithviraj Chattopadhyay and wonderful PhD students Coral Zheng, Efthymia Kostaki and Soniya Gupta-Rawal, where I joined my colleagues Drs. Madeleine Rauch and Andrei Kirilenko, and Dr. Niranjan S Janardhanan from LSE.
Reflecting on my experience in the job market and job talks I’ve attended in the past two decades has been a happy exercise for me. Here, I share a few insights that may help PhD Candidates prepare for the academic job market.
