How do I contact potential advisors?

  1. Check the individual faculty profiles on the IB website.
  2. Make a selection based on common interests.
  3. Write your email as an application letter:
  • A short summary of your past relevant research and work experience.
  • Your research interests and how they match up with the potential advisor's research program. Be specific here, show that you did your homework.
  • Explain how you can contribute to that research program.
  • Attach an updated C.V. and an official transcript.
