救命，博士offer defer之后，导师没钱了

学校和我说导师没钱了，只能自己做TA，但是不隶属于这个老师了，然后我去咨询我联系的老师的意见，老师也不回复了，想问一下大家我该怎么办？我还读吗？

博士defer offer下了，然后咨询教授funding letter，感觉教授不太想要我了

Thank you for reaching out. As you defer the offer, I will need to talk to my funding manager to check the availability of my start-up for the next fiscal year before issuing the new funding letter. I will let you know as soon as possible.

系里给我的回复是让我做TA，没有导师，还推荐我去找其他老师
以下是系里回复
I should follow up on this.
You are a TA until you choose your research chair. You may need a semester or two to find another advisor.

我咨询了我联系的导师，我是否可以做Ta同时，在她手底下做研究，这个老师已读不回了

所以到底什么意思呀？我挺想和老师读的，但是感觉这个老师是不想要我了对吗？想咨询一下大家的建议。

我后来给老师发邮件，依旧已读不回

I hope this email finds you well. I apologize for following up again, but I wanted to check in regarding my previous email as I noticed I haven’t received a reply yet. I completely understand you must be very busy, but I wanted to share a recent update from the department and express my commitment to working with you.

Yesterday, I received an email from the department stating that due to capacity constraints, you may not be able to take on more than two students for research and study in the coming fall. They offered me a TA position and assured me that it would remain available until I find another professor willing to accept me.

I deeply value the opportunity to join your research group and am genuinely committed to contributing to your work. I greatly admire your research and believe that under your guidance, I can grow academically and professionally. I would like to reaffirm my strong interest and dedication to being a part of your team.

May I kindly ask if you still intend to consider me as a PhD student? I would sincerely appreciate a clear response so I can make informed decisions moving forward.

Thank you very much for your time, and I truly hope to have the privilege of working with you.

老师一天之后回复内容是，

My startup situation is complicated and I need to talk to my funding manager next Monday. For now, please take the TA offer and apply for VISA asap. I am really willing to have you as my phd student. So if you are willing to, you are welcome to join in my lab for the first year. I have submitted several
proposals and hope to change you to full RA after that. Let's schedule a meeting for the week of Jan13 and I can explain further.

但是我有点混乱

就是他一开始前天给我发邮件，跟我说没有钱了，然后他要去跟他的资金经理谈一下，然后，前天学校给我发邮件说，老师没有办法资助我了。然后，学校给我提供ta的职位。直到我找到了另一个老师，然后我给学校发邮件说，我还属于这个老师的学生吗？学校说我不属于，完了之后呢，这个老师给我发邮件说。他希望我做他的博士生。然后说他。现在在交了几份提案，希望把我转成RA，然后说，欢迎我在做TA的时候去他的组做实验，然后说他要下周跟他的资金经理谈一下，他说他的情况有点复杂，说下周谈完之后，他会开一个会议，跟我讨论这个事儿，然后，我就跟他说，学校给我发邮件说的。然后，我又跟他说，学校说我不属于你的学生，属于系里的学生。然后，学校还说要保留TA职位给我，然后让我去找其他的导师，然后，我就跟他说我有点混乱了。我说，我到底是做TA的时候可以去你的组做实验，还是不可以去你的组做实验？如果可以的话，我就立马给学校发邮件，说我想要这个TA的职位

这是我立马回复老师邮件的内容

Thank you for your response. I am currently a bit confused about my situation. Yesterday, the department emailed me to inform me that you are unable to fund me, and suggested that I become a TA under the department head instead. I inquired if it was still possible to be your student, to which they replied that I am no longer your student but belong to the department. Following this, they also sent an email reserving the TA position for me and advised me to seek other professors.

I told the department that I needed some time to think, and I wanted to communicate with you immediately. Could you please clarify if I can still be your student while working as a TA, or if I am no longer considered your student?

If it is possible to be your student while holding the TA position, I will email the department right away to apply for the TA position.

Thank you for your guidance and understanding.

但是两天了，也是已读不回，我现在就等下周她能不能找我了

所以到底什么意思呀？这个老师是不想要我了对吗？想咨询一下大家的建议。

如果他不回你了，那就是不想要你了。你可以先拿着TA的钱边读边找导师。其实这样也挺好的，因为你有时间观察系里的老师。选个好导师很重要。

如果能拿到TA，导师肯定高兴，不用花他的钱了。关键是要搞到TA。

一般老师都喜欢用TA，因为不用自己操心找钱。一般好一点的学校都会保证学生有TA可以做。我PhD的时候系里规定是只要招进来的学生都是全奖，老师没钱系里保底。有几个做Theory的老师搞不到钱，学生做了六年TA。

你这个情况有可能是老师只打算带一到两个学生，你今年不来，人家招到别人了？

有TA，但是我给老师发邮件，咨询是否可以边做TA边和她做研究，老师已读不回了，以下是我发的

I hope this message finds you well. I apologize for bothering you, but I wanted to seek your advice regarding a matter. I just spoke with the department, and they informed me that I would need to work as a TA. However, it seems I wouldn't be under your supervision during that time.
May I kindly ask for your advice on whether it would be possible for me to work as a TA for one year while
simultaneously conducting research under your guidance? If feasible, I could potentially transition to an RA or half-RA position after the first year.
I would greatly appreciate your guidance on this matter. Thank you so much for your time and understanding

之前遇到了类似的情况，就又找了新的学校新的老师。可能就是奖学金给其他人学生了，defer的话就是要承担这种风险。

但是我提出来我边做TA边在她组里打工，她不回复我了，是不是就意味着，她因为我defer生气了，不想要我了，但是她当时还同意了我defer，这很奇怪啊

主要我如果做TA，就不隶属于这个老师，我还提出来和这个老师做研究，结果这个老师不回我了，是不是不要我了，因为这个学校这个系是强导师的，她不要我给我发offer很奇怪

我现在知道她是启动资金，她去年秋季招了一个人，今年春季招了一个人，一共两个人，我想知道学校说秋季不能支持超过两个人，是一开始那两个人，还是她后来又招了两个？
