Regardless of whether you belong to BYU, please list questions you have, information you want, or other things that you want to see on the website on this page. Hopefully, this can be a resource for a far greater community than just BYU individuals.

  • I would love to hear about the process of going on the job market. How should I decide where to send my packet? How do programs decide who to interview? What are my chance of getting an offer if I am asked to interview? When is appropriate to turn down an interview? When is it not appropriate to not turn down an interview? Please provide any information relating to this topic on the following page: Now that I have a Ph.D., how do I get a J.O.B.?
  • I would like to see a discussion about the review process. How do you decide where to submit a paper? How long does it usually take? What is expected of me when I am asked to review a paper? Is is appropriate to try to figure out who the authors are? Can I ask for the help of others? At what point in the process is it appropriate to reveal your identity as the reviewer to the author(s)?
  • I think a list of universities stipends would be interesting and useful. It may not be a big basis in making any kind of decision, but, it would be interesting to see what different schools are offering. It could be under the page How much is a typical PhD School Stipend?
