放弃转专业to stats@uoft, 辛苦找到工作

gternewbeeUID：3514201

I don’t have Chinese input method in my laptop…SORRY.

I got a funded admission to Stats Master’s at UofT, but withdraw it today. I ultimately get a job offer, a tenure-tracked AP at a research school, although it is not my dream target. If I have some openings in future, I might post online if I can and need.

At this moment, I announce, my subject-changing fails. TAT. New life as a Faculty member commences.

应该发个福利，立马在gter发个招生广告。

1st year is startup, it is more like an independent postdog, but since 2nd year, i will have the right to recruit.

招postdog有风险。建议还是招硕士生，这样可以短平快。对申请田牛更有帮助。

in my new school, in tenure review package, supervising a Master's= 0.25 unit workload, while a phd=4 workload. AP is not allowed to recruit postdog

居然量化HQP output，这个和国内大学有一拼。是不是升田牛的文章数目也被量化?如果一个硕士生发表文章比博 ...

when u applying for NSERC grants, you have a specific form to evaluate your HQP training performance. You will be evaluated by your past and current students (easy matter), colleagues (medium difficulty) and peers (hard). The reason is, the funds mostly goes to student stipend.

it is a top research school in Canada, so I will definitely stay here if can be tenured, fortunately, despite high working pressure somehow.

能冒昧问下教职的要求么？我听学校的一些老师说现在如果没有20篇左右的论文（工程领域），连面试都拿不到。

it very depends on subject, but publication is always the least deciding factor for a good research school. the most critical issue is up to your PhD supervisor (sv). my sv gave my the hottest projects (tons of money invested in this field by gov.), and transferred a grant's PI to me (which proved I had funding application capacity, and independent PI experience).  my sv has a huge name in Mech. Eng., and referred me to nearly 20 good universities in North America for an AP position. So, funding ability, PI experience, Bao Da Tui, good PhD school name are way more essential than paper. another fresh Phd in my group (non-caucasian) got an AP at a tier1 public univ. in the US just ago, with only 1 accepted paper.

changing to finance is also my dream, but not realistic for now. planning to get a MBA or Master o ...

Big Cong!感觉做自己喜欢的才是最重要的！ 前辈的SV 是研究Mech.Eng. 我猜你以前应该也是学Mech. ...

doing a phd will end up with being jobless, though. Pick calgary, a lot of opportunity out there. Westen@london, and Ottawa are the schools for Wen Ke Sheng.

谢谢回复。我看美国一些BBS上，他们觉得最重要的也是有没有独立申请到经费的经历。看来还是经费是学校最看 ...

as long as you are wealthy, u can publish tons of toilet paper in open access sources. university doesnt care ur damn research, they do only care $$$

在美国，拿自然科学基金: is is ascribed to whether you can Bao Da Tui
