undergradstudent Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 I had emailed prof last month to ask if there is volunteer research opportunity. Prof replied "we can talk later this semester". I then replied that I will follow-up again later. Now recently, I received an offer for grad school. I'm planning to email the prof about it (he's one of my letter referrees), as well as asking him about research. But I feel it may be too early? What sounds more polite? "Is this a good time to ask about volunteering? Or should I contact again at end of March or April?" or "Please know Im still interested in volunteering. I will follow-up again at end of March". or "I would like to ask if there is volunteer opportunity available?" Thanks for reading! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iphi Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 #1 or #3. But don't sweat it too much, if this person is anything like my POI s/he just forgot and will probably appreciate the reminder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aberrant Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 #3 plus suggesting a time to meet and talk with this PI in person. "volunteer" in "grad school life"? wrong board, maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
