[转载]我的博后申请经历从陶瓷到Offer过程

本人电子工程EE专业，申请时发表/录用**IEEE Trans 2片**，**IEEE Letters 2片**，**IET Journals 4片**，**Elsievier Jouranls 4片**。我这个专业基本上没有招博后的广告资源，所以申请的第一步是给和我研究领域相关的文章作者中象老板的直接发邮件陶瓷。**第一批大概20封左**右，都是发 给IEEE Fellow的，领域中的大牛，大树地下好乘凉嘛。陶瓷信+CV群发，

"I learned about your research on your homepage and your recent publications. Having achieved many goals in my career of sensor array processing and statistical signal processing and believing that there would be a good fit between my research experience and interests and your research, I am interested in a postdoctoral position in your lab, and have enclosed my Curriculum Vitae for your review and consideration.

I would like to know whether there is any postdoc position available in your lab. I will contact you in one week to answer any questions you may have and to see if you need any other information from me.

Greatly look forward to speaking with you soon."

只有3个回复了，2个说没钱没位置，一个有那么点意思，

"Thanks for your interest in working with us. We really appreciate that Our work is working on signal processing, sensor network and information fusion. Your background on statistical signal processing is close to our research interest. Our group is currently working mostly on sensor network and information fusion. Do you have any experience on these topics?"

教授回复问我有没有在他相关领域的研究经历。说实话我只是对这个领域有一点点了解，但回信说没有这种经历肯定是不行的，

"In year period 2004-2007, **my current research group is working on the topic sensor network**. With collaboration of other researcher in my group, I **also have knowledge of some other sensor network-related topics, e.g., energy-based sensor/target position estimation/tracking, consensus algorithm for distributed sensor fusion.**"

接下去几天没有回音了，发封信问问，

"I would like to check if you have received the below cited message, and I would appreciate if you are considering me as to work a postdoctoral fellow in your lab."

第二天教授回复了，

"Thanks for your email. I received the your previous email as well. It is good to know that you are also experienced in sensor network research. I wonder can we set up a **teleconference meeting** so that we can have direct conversation?"

好像是要面试，当然要同意了，不过我更喜欢视频，这样感觉更舒服些。

"Certainly. I am glad to talk with you. How about using a software like 'windows live messenger' or 'skype', in which way we may possibly make a video conversation?

As there has about over ten time differences between China and your city (I am not clear about what the exact figure is), can we discuss and arrange a time that is convenient for both of us for this conversation?"

可能是我用Hotmail的邮箱的缘故吧，第二天早上，教授加了我的MSN，然后问我方便跟他交谈吗。。。。

后来就是视频了。。。先简单寒暄几句，然后就是问我的研究情况，为什么想去他那里，还有没有联系其他的地方，最后让我把我**已经接收但没发表的文章给他，再写一个研究计划书给他**，他要和他的大老板讨论一下再给我答复，整个过程大概15分钟吧。。

后来就是等。。。。。。。。。。。。

过了大概**1周**的时间，**offer来了就等我确认了。。**

"Thank you sending me the copies of your papers that have been accepted  
for publication and a proposal for your future research work.

Dr. ... and I have given a careful consideration to your request for  
working in a postdoctoral position at ..... We have  
also briefly reviewed your papers that have already been published or  
accepted for publication, as well as your proposal for postdoctoral  
research. I'm pleased to inform you that we have decided to offer you  
a postdoctoral position under the joint supervision of Dr. ...  
and myself with an annual support of **$36,000.**

Please **inform us as soon as possible of your acceptance of the above  
offer.** Upon receipt of your acceptance of the offer, we will make a  
recommendation to the Dean of Engineering and Computer Science of  
...., Dr. ...., to issue you an official letter  
of offer that can be used to acquire a work permit and an entry visa.

In your future correspondence to me, please also include Professor  
...., whose email address is ....... Hope to hear from you soon."
