I'm almost done with writing my paper! I can't believe it's been 5 long months but I'm proud of what I've accomplished.

I just made a typo in my motivation letter. I absolutely hate myself right now.

#PhD

Looks really cool!

I’m looking for opportunities to collaborate on #astronomy projects to gain relevant experience and make my PhD applications more competitive.

If you know of any astronomers open to collaboration or haveq any advice, I’d really appreciate your guidance.

I'm an amateur astronomer. I work as a database administrator and I am now applying to PhDs in astronomy. I'd like to post and discuss my journey into becoming an Astronomer.

I’m taking a short break from #PhD applications to strengthen my profile. With a BSc in #Physics and MSc in #DataScience, I’ve been told repeatedly that while I’m a strong candidate, I lack direct #astronomy research experience.

Currently going through tutorials of AstroimageJ for processing exoplanet transits. I'm still applying for #PhDJobs while I work on my projects.

#PhD

As few kind souls have advised me, I'll start working on individual pet projects to show that I can work for a #PhD in #Astronomy. Finding #phdjobs in computational astronomy has been difficult but I'll keep trying.

As far as I understand, I didn't message up in the interview. So where could I improve? Or where can my profile get a chance? I would appreciate any insight that you guys could provide.

Where I'm from, during college there are no proper research experience that I could acquire, there are not enough resources. I'm not looking for motivation here, but I'm seeking help to strengthen my profile. I'm a good learner, highly self motivated, persistent. Got 8/10 and 9/10 CGPAs.

___It was clear that your experience with Machine Learning would be useful for the project, However, we received a large number of very high-class applications for this project; the successful candidates had a great deal more experience with extragalactic astronomy and #cosmology.'

They said: 'The panel was impressed by your application and by your performance at interview. We thought that you demonstrated a good understanding of the research paper. ___

I was called for interview from one in #UK. They had given me a short research paper to read and share my interpretations during the interview. The interview went well but I got my rejection mail today.

I used to think I could never do a #PhD in astronomy until I spoke to people on reddit who said my qualifications only made me a better candidate.

***My first rejection in #Astronomy***

I started applying to PhD positions in computational astronomy in UK and Australia since last December. I have a B.Sc in Physics and M.Sc in Data Science and currently working in IT in Database DevOps.
