Re: Looking for a PhD position



It is hard to answer your question because you supply so little
information about your field of interest.  You should probably look at
web sites on the scientific society you are associated with or plan to
be associated with.  For instance if you were a horticulurist in USA
you would look hard at the web site of the American Society of
Horticultural Scientists for starts, and you would be reading the
latest issues of the Journal of American Society of Horticultural
Scientists.  Then you would find articles by the most sucessful and or
interesting scientist, and then you would approach each of those
directly by email or by phone.  There are no good web sites for what
you seek, because most of the positions you seek will never be
advertised, like most professional positions, there is mostly a hidden
job market in what you seek. Networking not web site searching is the
preferred and more sucessful route. Another source of information is
the library. In the USA there is a published compendium of graduate
schools and outlines of their programs.  But I stick to my original
point, online searching is a poor 5th choise for information on what
you seek.
