The EBI–Sanger Postdoctoral (ESPOD) Programme is a collaborative fellowship scheme linking EMBL-EBI and the Wellcome Sanger Institute on the Wellcome Genome Campus in Hinxton near Cambridge. It supports postdoctoral researchers working across both institutes in projects that deliberately combine experimental wet-lab research with computational dry-lab analysis . Fellows can propose their own research ideas, building a project around one group at each institute, or select from a list of projects ...

PhD opportunity: Optimal Perturbations in Turbulent Flows at the University of Southampton, United Kingdom. This competition-funded Doctor of Philosophy project investigates which disturbances produce the largest response in turbulent flows. The research combines fluid mechanics, dynamical systems and chaos theory to understand how turbulence amplifies disturbances and generates organised patterns of motion. The successful researcher will develop a chaotic resolvent framework for analysing forci...

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.
