Open position
I do not have any open positions for PhD or postdoc now.
My advice for people looking for a PhD position
Make sure you have a clear understanding of why you want to do a PhD, given the beautiful life you currently have.
Talk to current or former students before choosing a supervisor. A good supervisor could have long-term positive effects on your faith and career, and vice versa.
Please do not attempt to work with me if you just want to do the minimum work to obtain a “pass” for the degree.
Your chances improve if you’ve done a thesis or internship in the group, or have a strong letter from a known name.
Do not be afraid to ask. Your email would be ignored in the worst case.
