PhD Position: Movement Ecology at Radboud University in the Netherlands. This PhD project studies how climate change and freshwater availability shape the year-round movements of migratory waterbirds, using the greater white-fronted goose ( Anser albifrons ) as a model species. The project connects a unique long-term individual tracking dataset with remote sensing products to examine how geese respond to snow cover, freshwater availability, breeding success, and changing temperatures across bree...

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.
