背景
普通学校理工学科小方向 专业排名中等
Fresh PHD 文章相对可以 有几篇本领域较好杂志 其他会议书节若干
三年TA经验 老师导师推荐 无大牛推荐
申请
今年职位明显多 就我小方向有十多 好中差都有
最好的直接据了我 最差的两所也据了 其中有所跟我的几个研究方向完全一致 可能是学校出身不够有有吸引力
一个电面 两个校面中等排名 背景跟要求基本一致
材料准备
导师很好 修改了几遍材料 也跟我练习面试
去面试之前那周还叮嘱我一些细节问题
我自己收集了几类问题 有十多页 不会的跟老师商量
问题贴在后面了
面试
我口语一般 着急了就喜欢乱说 发音还凑合 于是问题我都慢慢答 有时间考虑 有例子支持比如问教书方法 这样口语劣势不明显
同时多问多了解职位的小要求 这些可能没有在广告中描述的 系里头做我这方向不多但是有兴趣觉得很重要 于是我也有信心
车轮面了所有老师 问了很多问题大都列在我单子上 没有时间讨论很深入的研究问题
跟学生也聊 鼓励他们的研究 同时问需要的改进跟期待 这也是一些准备的标准问题
两天下来很累 每天跟老师吃三顿 吃饭的时候也有面试 每顿都吃不完
第二天的research presentation我都晕了 但是讲过几次基本还好 感觉体力很重要
关于fresh phd
我没有单独教课的经验，所以收集了很多相关课程的大纲，看看人家老师怎么教的，这样聊起天也有1，2，3可说
funding方面也没有单独申请过，跟老师一起接触了一些合作方，然后参与写了小的项目申请，看到板上NSF的申请我还是有很多要学习的
然后就是信心 对方跟自己都要建立一种信心 自己能在未来6年能做点成绩出来
另外就是学校并没有因为我博士的出身直接就Pass掉我 今年了解到传统牛校也有不少fresh phd 在申请 所以很幸运得到他们的认可
下面贴的问题没有详细的答案 申请的时候按照自己的情况做一些考虑应该都是不错的
有时候看看http://chronicle.com/ 这里
carleton这个网址有比较系统的介绍一些准备知识
http://serc.carleton.edu/NAGTWorkshops/careerprep/jobsearch/int
----------------------------------------------------------------
以上都是一己之见，只面了一家，难免有些片面，望轻拍
希望大家都能拿到满意的offer 申请到喜欢的funding |

发帖数: 234 | 18 不好意思各位 我基本都没有写详细的答案 列的都是跟自己专业定制的一些要点
主要准备了
自己的研究方向 有什么作用 可以跟系里头/业界什么人合作
主要funding来源 准备了自己曾经合作的 以及对方学校本地一些资源
另外聊到自己的研究方向的前景 需要说服对方这个是在未来有一个很不错的发展（吸
引学生/funding）通常也是我有点初步成果的地方 可能跟本学科应用特点比较强有关
吧
教课方面大体分了课程类型准备 比如问道什么课怎么教很多时候我就是看到人家大纲
的要求提到的东西作为参考答案的 比较偷懒 然后结合自己做TA的经历讲了些例子 这
样听起来比较有个人特点 也有说服力 比较有空的话可以看看 how to teach xxx
会提到5年内的一个规划 实际结合了教课跟研究以及其他 这个问题非常重要 我就说了
想要tenure 呵呵
我觉得有个写的很好的例子是在这里

大类不重要，挂羊头卖狗肉的也不少……
其实博士老板最重要，不一定要牛人，但一定要RP比较好或者至少是比较真心搞
research的人……
恩，想不通我以前为什么那么白痴……
