psychapplicant21 Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 (edited) I am working as a research assistant and my PI is a Senior Lecturer and Consultant Psychiatrist but the chief investigator of the study is a professor and more well known in the field. However, I have much more contact with my PI than the CI. The CI is also very busy and I'm not sure if he would have time to submit my recommendation letters. I was going to ask if the CI could co sign the recommendation letter but I wasn't sure if this is allowed? Edited May 2, 2019 by ccc333 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I didn't think it would be an issue as it is normal I guess to work on a project with two people, if anything it is an endorsement for what the main person is writing about you.

topsailpsych Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 I had two professors write a letter together and co-sign, because I had only taken one short class with each professor so neither felt they knew me well enough to write a letter independently, but together the felt that could comprehensively address my performance as a student. I was accepted into 4 programs with that as one of my letters, so I don't think it's a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tulsa Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Got a co-signed letter and am attending this fall. That should work fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youngqueerliving Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 My supervisors are husband and wife and co-founders of our lab, so they co-wrote and co-signed my letter. It only counts as one letter, though, so make sure you still have two other letters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chopper.wife Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Also got a co-signed letter that was primarily penned by the more established supervisor but a postdoc also contributed to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
