What is the best way to search for potential PhD supervisors?
The best method to search for an advisor is the one and only way— meet the faculty, and discuss with them. And then take a call. Don’t rush.
However, it is not possible to meet ALL the faculty in a department. You should have already identified, on Day 1, who are the faculty members you’ve narrowed down to meet and discuss. There are several factors before/after joining, that you need to use, to identify who you would like to work with.
1- Talk to the current Ph.D scholars who are working with a particular faculty. Understand their routine, work style, and the impression they give of that faculty. Do you get good vibes?
2- Talk to the faculty member. Are they someone you can work with easily? Do the wavelengths ‘match’?
3- There must be a Ph.D reading group in your department. Approach the convener of that group and get their suggestion(s). They usually have a bird’s eye view of the whole department, and a lot of information!
4-Now comes the time where you’re on your own. Look at the faculty’s recent publications, and research projects. Their quality will give you a good indication.
5-Is the faculty a senior person? If so, chances are that they’ll be super-busy with multiple administrative/external commitments, and therefore unable to give you much time.
6-A senior faculty has other advantages, however. An established research group, a name for themselves, good contacts. These can open many doors for you in the future.
7-Is the faculty a young person? If so, then they are more likely to spend time with you guiding your research. Reason? They are also inclined to establish a name for themselves. That’s me— guilty as charged!
