楼主中科院某所应届博士毕业生,文章水平普通,一篇JMCC,一篇Dalton Transactions,一篇JPCC。想要试试CSC-DAAD这个唯一给应届博士申请的博士后海外项目。10月18日开始联系外导(有点晚了,那时候才刚知道有这么一个项目)。外导是在相关文献里的通讯作者里找到的。
第一封套磁信外导第二天就回复了,信号很积极啊,搞得我有点小激动。(高兴得太早)回复如下:
Dear XX,
your CV looks very interesting. We are keen to support your CSC-DAAD proposal.
What would be your proposed topic for the fellowship proposal?
Beste Grüße / Best regards,
Steve Albrecht
得到回复之后,立马写邮件问外导要不要商量一个topic,还是我自己想一个。外导没有理会。
我想既然这样我就自己先写一个吧,花了一个周末,写了一个research proposal 和timetable,10.22给外导发过去了。
顺便把申请项目的需要对方提供的材料也做了说明。这次,外导第二天就回复了,信号也很积极(我的英文太差,理解错了?),回复如下:
Dear XX,
There is an important deadline end of October and then I have some days off.
Thus I can prepare the documents in the week from 5th of November but not before.
Greetings from Berlin.
Beste Grüße / Best regards,
Steve Albrecht
我想这外导也太好说话了,连面试都不需要么(想多了,后面面试了)。我马上回复说没问题啊,截至日期是11.20号,只要你在这之前前几天把邀请信啥的给我就好了。我就等着了。11.5号一到马上写邮件提醒加催促外导可以开始准备文档了。外导当天就回了,不过回复内容让我蒙圈,回复如下:
Dear XX,
can you please let me know which costs we need to cover for you?
Usually the CSC only covers 2 years while a PhD is at least 3 years.
Beste Grüße / Best regards,
Steve Albrecht
这啥米意思,这是要去读博士么,邮件主题那么大的postdoctral position一直没看到么。我马上回说我是申请博后,而且明年就博士毕业。外导马上回复(11.5)如下:
Dear Lin,
sorry I mixed something up.
For your DAAD grant, how much of the costs would be needed from my side?
Let’s have a short skype meeting end of this week.
Friday 10 AM German time?
Beste Grüße / Best regards,
Steve Albrecht
这是要视频呀,马上就回了没问题啊,然后在给外导解释了一下这个CSC-DAAD项目不要他花钱,还每个月给他200欧的补助。回复如下:
Dear Steve,
Thanks for replying. And there are some important details are listed in the following for you:
1.Successful funding application of CSC-DAAD. Under this situation, the CSC-DAAD will support the related fees (2000Euro/month) for me in a period of 18 months. Thus, there is no need for your side to provide any fund for me in this period. In addition to this, the DAAD will offer your side a monthly research grant of 200Euro.
During the research Period, associated infrastructure, hardware facilities, related laboratory equipment, experimental materials, test equipment, are required to purchase or support.
The time of the research, as I mentioned above, this is an 18 months funding program. If prolonging the experiment time or other relevant factors, all of these should provide a fund for me.
2.Unsuccessful funding application of DAAD. In this situation, which means I have no support for living expenses. If you are still interested in my research area, I am willing to apply the Full funding POST-PHD program (Or Research Grant) like the other POST-PHD in the institute if you could help.

Looking forward to speaking to you in the Friday.
Kind regards,
等到了11.9号,下午开了Skype视频,外导磨蹭延后了半个小时才开始。扯了快一个小时。大概意思就是我的research proposal和timetable不够详细,要把具体的研究思路和方法写清楚。我说时间不大够了,他说不是还有10天么。外导说会给我的research proposal和timetable一些comments,我把这些comments回复好就没问题了。我想这不就和回复审稿人意见该文章一样吗,这流程我熟,不是补实验我一两天就搞得定。我说我会as soon as possible给他回复。他同时向我要本科和硕士的毕业证和学位证。本科的我有,可是硕士的没有啊,因为中科院好多博士一般都是硕博连读的。外导说这在德国是不可能的,英语有点捉急,解释了一下中国的硕博连读(国外真没有这操作么)。问可不可以给一个学校开的硕博连读证明。外导说好。还说有啥问题随时问,下周在视频一次。我以为基本就差不多了,把research proposal 和timetable改改可能还赶得上申请。我太天真了
到11.12号我找研究所部办了证明给发过去了。然后就了无音讯了。星期二(11.13)催了一下,你的comments倒是快点发给我啊,没回。
这时候就已经觉得他是不是要放我鸽子了。今天(11.16),已经死心了,还是发邮件问问什么情况,内容如下:
Dear Steve,
The deadline of application is next Tuesday. There are two days for us to make everything well down.
If you don't want to help me to apply this Program, Please let me know.
Thanks a lot!
Kind regards,
这次外导倒是马上回了,内容如下:
Dear XX,
I am sorry, I can't support you with this fellowship anymore.
I hope you can find another host for your exchange program and I wish you all the best for your future scientific career.
We might meet each other during an upcoming conference.
Greetings from Berlin.
Beste Grüße / Best regards,
Steve Albrecht
这外导到底明不明白,又不要他support,我只是要个邀请信去申请这个项目。郁闷到爆,无法安心学习。上来倾述一下回去继续学习申论,明天考选调生去。
给大家参考参考。心里不开心,爆了外导的名字,有问题不。 除了最后放我鸽子不开心之外,全程还是很顺心的,大家也可以申请试试。公开联系方式如下:

这是网上找得到的,应该不算侵犯隐私吧
就是不吐不快,大家不要向我一样吊在一根绳子上,还是要多联系。嗯,这一part过了,也不想出国了。
(楼主已经去过英国联培了半年,所去的组的实验条件还不如所里的。大家出国还是要去牛组和大组,不然出不了成果白搭)
以上,叨饶了 |
