Ask HN: Where to find PhD offers?
I have just graduated with an MSc and would love to continue with a PhD in computer science.
However universities and research seem to have something against common convenience and most of their offers are hard/impossible to find/search.
Do you have any resource where I can find PhD opening that offer VISA sponsorship?
- uaaa 10y agoUsually, I see PhD offers announced on relevant mailing lists, e.g.: https://www.google.com/search?q=phd+position+site%3Ahttps%3A%2F%2Fmail.python.org&oq=phd+position+site%3Ahttps%3A%2F%2Fmail.python.org https://www.google.com/search?q=phd+position+site%3Ahttps%3A... Some PhD openings may not even be advertised, so politely asking (i.e. no generic spamming) existing students or faculty members is the only way to find out.
- honorious 10y agoIt's safe to assume that most US universities with PhD programs have openings every year and they are going to sponsor you for a visa. The difficult part is identifying professors that you'd like to work with.
- hamtaroPhD06 10y agoI tried cold emailing professors, but I have had 0% response rate. My emails were clear, simple and respectful. I guess they have better things to do than to respond to random stranger on the internet. I wish there was a kind of a job board for PhDs ..
