Hi there,
Just a simple question. On the continent, especially in Benelux and Germany, there are more PhD-projects than interested and serious candidates. How is this situation in the UK? How would my chances be with a MSc (cum laude) in (Evolutionary) Microbiology?

Hey Steve, can you send me a copy of your C.V. as well please. My email address is [email protected]

Just wondering if anyone has encountered discrimination on the basis of age when applying for a PhD. Is there still hope of an academic career if you're over 30 when starting a PhD?

Yeh im always interested to hear of any little tips and tricks to top up that BBSRC grant!!!

Anybody found any additional sources of funding?

Aditi - have you got an email address mate?

OK the price of my CV is now £10 a pop!!!!!!

Nah im only joking. I will send it to everyone sometime today (monday).

Unlike most taught courses, PhD opportunities are available all year round (although there probably are many that start Sept/Oct time). Apart from findaphd.com, good places to search for studentships are in relevant publications, such as New Scientist and on the website www.jobs.ac.uk

Also, check individual institution websites.

As you have recently graduated, why not have a chat with your tutors and see if they know of suitable research groups that you could approach prospectively? Good luck.

Hey, I've just graduated and was wondering how this whole PhD thing worked. Are there major student intakes (such as October) or are studentships advertised as soon as funding is available? Is this the best resource to find a PhD or is it best to e-mail individual institutions? Thanks for your help!!

Hi, Semra:) I am looking for the same kind of job because of the same reasons. I have finished my masters in microbiology in Bulgaria. May I ask you for an advice if you get any answer here. My e-mail is : [email protected] Thank you in advance:)
