Does anyone know when Germany will notify research and study finalists? I'm tempted to contact them inquiring about it due to an upcoming enrollment decision deadline for a Ph.D. offer of admission.

I will soon visit my top option for Ph.D. studies. During the visit, I will have an individual meeting with both my likely supervisor and a likely committee member. I'm interested to know if anyone has any recommended questions. So far, I have the following: What approach do you take in supervising (more hands-on or more hands-off)? What do you see as the real strength(s) of the program? What current projects are you working on? Do your doctoral students help as research assistants? If so, what might my work as one look like? How have your supervisees fared in securing academic jobs? In your opinion, what does it take to be successful? Are there any shared traits among your most successful supervisees?

I’m in at Cambridge but without any word on funding.

Yes, I do.

@sacklunch, would you send me a private message?

Does anyone have any insight into how much one's master's degree can hurt them when looking for employment upon completing a Ph.D.? Basically, I'm interested to know how much one's master's matters. I know how much a quality master's can help one get accepted into a TT Ph.D. program, but what about the person that comes out of a TT Ph.D. program having gone to a no-name denominational school for their master's? Does the person who went to a TT M* program and a TT Ph.D. program have a significant advantage?

Hi all, I just made an account and found this page. I received an offer of admission from University of Toronto's Department for the Study of Religion.
