I am a student with one year research experience in Bioinformatics from one of the best research institutes in india. Presently I am working in another reputed Biotech company. I have been trying to get a PhD position since last 1.5 years but did not suceed. The only reply I get is that I have a strong Cv but they can not offer me a position.
Can some help me out by giving their feedback about what I should do and how in order to get a position. Life is getting very frustrating.
Go to the website of each university you are interested in, and look at professors’ profiles in the departments of your interests and find professors are interested in areas close to yours. Email them, say who you are and what you are interested in. If you get replies, you will have to write a very good research proposal (read all recent research articles in your field before writing), and send them the proposal to see if they will be interested. If everything goes well, apply there!
See our Funding and PhDs Explained sections for links and information. Try the Association of Commonwealth Universities or the Department of Education in India first. They may be able to help you to secure partial funding, which will allow you to take things further.
