So I first heard about NSERC though some upper year friends. I tried applying first year but I missed the dead line D'oh! So this year I decided to apply early, I emailed a bunch of profs with a brief summary of myself and my interests. Only 3 out of 15 replied to my emails, I chose the one that had the most appealing research and I asked to meet with her. It was a brief interview and by the end she asked if I wanted to work in her lab. To be honest NSERC depends completely on marks, not EC's or even the interview. You basically just find a prof willing to take you and then you and your prof write a proposal and submit it to the research department at your university. Spots are awarded based purely on your grade average. The cut off is usually around 87-89 according to my prof.
If you have any other questions feel free to write me a comment down below !
hey i just found your blog though the research thread, i was wondering if you could have a youtube channel as well to vlog or show the lab skills you have learned.
ReplyDeleteHmmm... I don't think I'm allowed to videotape in my lab. I could start another page where I can post some of my protocols and describe some of my techniques.. Let me know if you'd like this?
ReplyDeleteyes please
ReplyDeleteso where is this post on protocols and describing the techniques?
