你是不是在找導師的時候無從下手？

你是不是找到了導師的頁面，但看得眼瞎也沒找到和自己方向契合的導師？

而選擇正確的導師可以說是博士申請中非常關鍵的第一步。如果你有以上困惑，那麼這篇文章非常值得你花時間讀一讀，預計花費時間5min。同時文末有福利，不要錯過哦～

There are three easy ways to find a supervisor who might be interested in your particular research project.

Use Universitys Directory of Expertise to search directly for academics working in your field. Search by generic keywords or subject areas and browse academic profiles to find the likeliest candidate to be interested in your idea.

直接搜索導師的名字、研究領域、或者通覽所有導師的研究方向

Another way of searching for a supervisor is to get a feel for who is working in your field by browsing department pages for the subject you are interested in, information on research groups and centres, and staff biographies. Alternatively, email the director of research in the relevant department and ask them to recommend a potential supervisor - make the most of their knowledge of the expertise available in their department.

簡單來說就是通過學院／學科頁面搜索或者直接向學校PhD招生部門尋求推薦

Many prospective research students, particularly in the sciences and engineering, will look for a predesigned project. These are advertised by the academic in charge of the project, who will usually have secured funding from a research body for a studentship. Search for your Universitys studentships on research scholarships page.

對於科學和工程領域 ，通常是有資助項目的，大家可以尋找已經發布出來的資助項目。關於如何找到資助項目，大家可以聯繫曼博士。

Some PhD students will prefer to undertake research with an academic from their previous study who they know and like. This is fine, but remember that the most important factor in choosing a supervisor is that their interests are closely related to your own.

尋找和你研究方向／研究領域契合的博士導師

關於研究方向契合性的解讀，請見曼博士往期文章：官方乾貨| 你真正系統地了解過研究計劃么？（上篇）

Spending some time looking at their list of publications. Are their research interests similar to yours? How well established are they? Is this even important to you?

Do you think you will be compatible? PhD study is largely self-directed and self-driven, but some supervisors will want to be more involved with your research than others. Ask them what their expectations will be in terms of regular contact – tell them your expectations. Obviously this will differ from subject to subject – in some science and engineering subjects you may be working with academics in a laboratory on a day-to-day basis, while in arts and humanities supervisors might have little more to do than point you in the right direction.

博士學習區別於本科和研究生的地方在於，其學習機制更多的是自我導向和自我驅動。但是根據不同學科，建立與導師有效的溝通模式也至關重要。

Meet them for an informal chat before you commit to anything. You will be working with this person for the next three to four years!

Ultimately, a supervisor』s role is to assist and support you throughout your research. Your supervisor will:

導師能夠幫助你在初期制定研究方向、計劃和研究目標，給予你學術資源和文獻選擇，以及信息收集、記錄和分析方法的指導。在後期則著重於指導你的畢業論文，和後續如何做學術報告。
