Just Landed
Bernhard Payer’s laboratory at CHU Sainte-Justine and Université de Montréal is recruiting motivated postdoctoral researchers, PhD students, and MSc students in Montreal, Canada. The team investigates the intersection of epigenetics and reproduction, with research topics including X-chromosome inactivation, pluripotency, stem cell biology, oogenesis, and stem cell-derived in vitro gametogenesis. These projects are relevant to developmental biology, reproductive biology, and maternal and child he...

PhD opportunity at the University of Lleida / Biomedical Research Institute of Lleida (IRBLleida) in the group Drosophila models of disease and (epi)genetic analysis . The project focuses on the genetic dissection of metastasis using several colorectal cancer models developed in the lab, with the aim of understanding the cellular processes that drive metastatic spread. The research uses Drosophila models that recapitulate mutations relevant to human colorectal cancer, enabling the study of tumou...

Questions
Should I email professors before submitting my PhD application?
Yes. A well-targeted email can significantly improve your chances in many research-based programs.
What should I include in my first email to a professor?
A brief introduction, research interests aligned with the professor’s work, CV, and (if available) publication links.
How long should I wait before following up with a professor?
Typically 7–14 days. One polite follow-up is considered acceptable.
Is it better to send the same email to many professors?
No. Personalized emails that clearly match the professor’s research receive far better response rates.
Do I need a full research proposal when contacting professors?
Usually not initially — a short research summary is sufficient unless the professor specifically requests a full proposal.
