Post doc research proposal
Writing articles the cdn front postdocs are highly centralised (mostly done through the federal tri-council online application system). I am told it is impossible to get a post doc in north america due to the number of yours spent outside academics since 2012. Would really appreciate your views on how to approach a potential mentor for post-doctoral research under some form of affiliation if no funding available.
Couple of small suggestions:– the link to the ‘writing the cover letter’ post seems to be broken, though i found it through a site search. Month – journal i wish to publish in/title or theme of the article + topic to be researched during that month? I was pretty stressed that i dont have a chance to be accepted there, but reading your post helped me to make sure i have done my best in preparing a cover letter which speaks of my experience and presents my personality well.

Personal statement is a constant headache, and i don’t yet have a post on it, although i definitely will when i’m back to blogging (or in the book that i’m writing). I am considering proposing an introductory lecture on film & media theory (my field), which i do not see offered in any of the university’s departments (but they do state film as one of the fields appropriate for the postdoc). One of the conditions i negotiated was being able to postpone my start date for a post-doc.
As in all research proposals you will want to open by proving the importance and urgency of your topic. I’m currently applying for postdocs here in australia, and your tips have been really useful so far! Have a bad experience when i sent a comprehensive research proposal with full technical details of my own idea to one of the “great” professors in one of the top east coast universities.
Having thought that aspects of my application were quite left-field before then, i was quite surprised by how many humanities and social sciences academics were engaged in activities such as documentary making and creative theatre. The letter will be no more than 2 pages principle in operation here—and the one that too many applicants don’t seem to grasp—is that the campus is funding this expensive postdoc not so some random academic can come and sit in an office and write for a year, but rather, to “buy” the energy, contributions, and participation of an additional world-class scholar to their campus community for the period of that year. Stumbled across this website the other day while searching for tips on writing job and post doc applications.
My research has steadily become more science-y in nature and i am not at all content with my current job. The online application does not accommodate a cover postdoc proposals will have a paragraph on contributions to/interactions with the faculty and 3-yr. The post doc position i am applying for includes a question of “advantages of doing post doc at the university”.
I’m applying for a post-doc that is specifically focused on conducting archival research for a broader project (in the humanities). I plan to apply for postdocs, but i am in research transition and my new research is not related at all to my past research. They ask for a 1500 words research proposal, i allocated 500 words to the publication of my thesis, giving some details on its content but mainly focusing on why i should have it published and why this publication is needed and timely, and then 9 have about 700 words and on a new project, for which i clearly state that it will be a long-run project to be completed over several year and i intend solely to initiate it during the postdoc and participate in conferences to present it.
Was accepted as an academic visitor (3-12 months) in warwick by a professor there who asked me to propose my own idea, secure my own funding and he will supervise and support my government offers postdoc fellowships and i’m supposed to submit a proposal, get warwick approval, then send it to them to get the funding. The postdoc wants to be in the line, in the footnote, “this research was supported by generous funding from xxxxx. Work on my master of arts by research book publication that has been in progress since 2009.
Research might not feel like it at times but every phd student knows that the thesis will one day be finished and that means planning for post-phd life. I’m currently working on two post-doc applications, for example, that ask for statements of research, teaching philosophy, and a “personal statement. This application asks for a “personal statement” of 1500 words max, which details “completed research, works in progress, professional goals and plans for publication, and other relevant iformation” in addition to a 500-word statement discussing (essentially) “what the institution can do for you and what you can do for the institution”.
It possible to sound too far along with turning your diss into a book for a postdoc? But, few months latter i found out one of his students is working on my idea with my proposed research methodology and technique! M currently in the process of applying for a post-doc at a major r1 three years after the doctorate.
