Once there was a man from peru,

Who was dreaming of eating his shoe,

He woke with a fright,

In the middle of the night,

To find that his dream had come true.

I'm very interested in a PhD programme (molecular genetics)that has one year of research experience as a prerequisit. The problem is that my current institution does not take in research technicians etc. so I can't get it there. Any ideas? Would it be possible to get such a place at another university or will they prioritate own students? If I try to get something in industry what should I think of? Is it difficult to get a place? I'm really not that fussy about my pay check (I just want to get into that programme!).

I finished my degree then worked for a year as a research technician. The experience of working within a university was very appealing to most potential supervisers and i subsequently got a Phd!

Are you any good at learning languages? If not, go for Scandinavia - the Swedes generally learn/speak English as an international business language (right Frida?) and because Swedish is ... um ... complicated.

I am currently overseas and cannot attend a face to face interview. I am available on phone though.

Why bother?

I have been looking for a forum which would support PhD students at a deeper level. A forum that have open debates on certain topics or open discussions on different topics? If any of you guys or girls know of any please place the address on the answer page :)

after a phD you should be able to get a better position in industry, isn'it

You won't have a problem getting a phd position after a few years in industry. But if you want to do a phd then i dont understand why you are going into industry first - there is no point.

Actually, I have got an offer for a position in industry in the UK. I had not really started looking for a PhD in the UK, because I had some PhD offers in France too, but I would really like to go to the UK. THe question is should I refuse the industrial position and look for a PhD in the UK? Or is there a risk if I work now that it would be difficult to find that PhD in UK in a few years?
