想要今年秋入学的有兴趣的同学尽快邮件我简历，下周开始会Zoom interview两周，然后之后就会很快发offer

补充内容 (2022-08-16 01:27 +8:00):
2023Fall的PhD继续招人哪，以及想做这个方向的博后的欢迎联系，可以随时入职

被学生鸽了，2023 fall继续招全奖PhD，还帮我们组别的被鸽老师一起招人，NLP，bioinformatics, AI in healthcare的都可以，至少2-3个名额，背景match然后还没有offer想读PhD的同学请把CV发给我。。。

感谢大家的邮件，终于找时间都回复完了，如果还有没收到回复的可以再发邮件告诉我下。大家都很优秀，不过名额有限，我对于那些不是很match的同学我也直接发邮件告知了，这样也不会浪费大家的时间了。之后我会陆续发Zoom meeting和Candidate聊下。
对于大家的邮件，我有几个建议小建议：1.开头称谓一定要加名字，我竟然收到好几个Dear Prof/Teacher然后不加名字的，可真是大忌，一般老师看到这种都不会回复。2.群发我不反对，但是群发的时候好歹要保证格式字体啥的都一致，不要一眼都被人看出来了。3.发之前要反复check，邮件里面不要有任何低级错误（拼写，Prof的研究方向等）。4.邮件不适合太长，说重点就行 (第一段简单介绍，姓名学校专业申请什么，第二段highlight下你的经历和能力和研究，第三段自由发挥可以写为什么读phd，现在的研究和Prof的有哪些交集等）。
补充点信息：1.2022秋还有一个PhD名额，但是时间比较紧最晚5月要定下来，因为之后还有一些admission的流程要搞，所以有兴趣的同学请尽快发CV。2.我和学院check了下，因为学校课程安排的原因，只能秋季入学所以2023年春季不太可行。3.不管2022/2023，IELTS/TOEFL + GRE分数可以不用太高但是要有，这个学院硬性要求，今年不能waive。4. 2023秋季有两个PhD名额，若干RA和Postdoc名额。5. 我是做计算为主，太偏生物和医学的我可能没有这方面的知识去指导学生，之前带过不少学生做research，CV里面都有写，之后可能也会考虑mentor少量RA or intern，不过精力有限，对我的方向感兴趣的可以发个email聊一聊。6.还有别的问题可以在这里留言or邮件，我会尽量回复，祝大家都能申请上理想的学校。

建议大家理性申请社交app上的phd，指不定谁捞谁。之前申请的时候听说这个pi第一年学生都退了，我直接润了🤣不过不知道是不是真的，后来去别的学校没多具体多问了。不过觉得还是发出来给大家看着排雷吧

给老师发邮件啦，chi****@gwu.edu，感谢分享

2022年秋应该也可以招RA，不过RA不能sponsor签证，所以现在在美国的话拿opt的应该OK，在国内的话paid RA应该比较难

老师您好 我想问一下 本科cs 但目前还没有gre和E/I的成绩，已经准备但还没考试 ，可以在6月底之前拿到成绩，可以申请2022秋的phd嘛？

2022年秋的最晚5月底就要定下来了，因为后面还有很多程序签证等问题要搞，所以6月底的话应该来不及了
