Collaboration and co-supervision
Applying is quicker through the application form, which asks the things we would otherwise have to email you about. Everything here is read by a person, usually within a few business days.
1If you write, include
- 1.Who you are. Name, school, year, and roughly where in the world you are.
- 2.What you want to work on. The area, and the topics inside it that actually interest you. Specific beats broad.
- 3.Your real availability. The hours you can still give in week nine, not the hours you can give this week.
- 4.One question. Something you would genuinely want to investigate. It does not need to be feasible, or even answerable.
Schools and labs: skip the list and tell us what you would bring, whether that is data, questions, co-supervision, or students of your own, and how much time you can put behind it.
2Questions we get
- Is it really free?
- Yes. No application fee, no program fee, and we do not sell anything to families later on.
- I am in college, not high school. Can I apply?
- Yes. Placements are open to undergraduates as well, and the cycle runs the same way. Say where you are in school and we place you accordingly.
- Do I need experience?
- No. About half of accepted students arrive with none. Say so in the application and we will place you accordingly.
- Will I get published?
- Possibly. Most cycles end in a complete internal writeup, and some go to a poster, abstract, or workshop paper when the work carries one. We do not promise it, and any program that does is worth a second look.
- How long is the wait?
- About two weeks for an application. Other questions get answered in a few business days.
- Can I apply from outside the US?
- Yes. Everything runs remotely and check-ins are scheduled around your time zone.
- I was declined. Can I reapply?
- Yes, and people do. Most declines are about capacity in that cycle rather than about the applicant.
- Can my school or lab work with you?
- Possibly. Write to the research address with what you have in mind and how much time you can put into it.
