Just Landed
The University of Groningen is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher to work on hybrid and de novo-designed nanopores for single-molecule protein sensing. The project focuses on designed nanopores, nanopore technology, biophysics, and the development of breakthrough tools for reading and sensing individual protein molecules. The research will be conducted in Professor Giovanni Maglia's laboratory and includes collaboration with partners in Brussels, including VUB-VIB, and Leuven, including imec. ...

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.
