Hi all,
What advice do you have for searching through PhD program websites with regards to finding potential faculty to work with? How specifically do your research interests need to align with theirs? And what level of professor (assistant, associate, etc.) should you be looking for? Any advice on reaching out to them prior to applying?
Also, what effect would having defined but pretty varied research interests have on an application and a department's perception of your "fit"? For example, public policy and African development.
