FirstPrinciples Foundation is offering an AI-Native Physicist Fellowship for researchers who want to use frontier AI in an ambitious physics project and, importantly, make the research workflow itself part of the output. The fellowship is designed around a simple but demanding idea: the chosen fellow will pursue their own physics research project while also documenting how AI is used to accelerate discovery, what worked, what failed, and how results were verified. The program emphasizes rigorous...

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.
