The Kelada Lab at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is recruiting a postdoctoral research associate for a project on how the air pollutant ozone affects the lungs. The research will investigate why genetically different mice show different pulmonary responses to ozone exposure. The project will connect DNA sequence variation, chromatin and other epigenomic states, and gene expression changes elicited by ozone in vivo. The team will examine how these molecular features relate to hal...

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.
