Hi, I've been 'strongly encouraged' to apply for a fully funded phd by the potential supervisor and he has said he is open to questions (in response to an initial email with cv.
What questions is it okay to ask? My peoblem is that I need to ask about practical arrangements, start date, if commuting/part time home working is possible. Are these ok to ask? Not really able to afford to live near to where it's based.
Also what can you ask about phd specifics?
Does anyone have any links to best way to apply for it?
Thanks!

I think it's ok to ask about start date but I wouldn't ask about commuting/part time home working at this stage if I were you, as it might discourage them. Worry about the logistics of doing it if you get it.
