I have emailed several supervisors for advertised PhD studentships yet I have not received a single reply. It's starting to bug me and I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem and any suggestions for how I can entice them to reply to me.
Well, I don't know where you are, or where you're applying too, but in much of western Europe you'll be lucky to see hide nor hair of a reseacher in situ, as it were duruing Juky / Aug- holidays and reserach trips count that out!
