<div class="" style="word-wrap:break-word; line-break:after-white-space">Dear Behavioural Science cluster,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">A big thank you to everyone who contributed with their initial scoring of EoIs. These were enormously helpful!</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Based on your scores, we have now narrowed down the shortlist to 15 applicants. In a final step, we now have to choose the Top 9, so we have to eliminate another 6 EoIs. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""><b class=""><u class="">This final selection will be made on the basis of the following two criteria:</u></b></div>
<div class="">
<ol class="x_MailOutline">
<li class="">Do we have <b class="">supervisory capacity</b> for a proposal like this?</li><li class="">Is the proposal credibly <b class="">interdisciplinary?</b></li></ol>
</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">For this, <b class=""><u class=""><font color="#0433ff" class="">we would like to ask for your help one last time.</font></u></b></div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I am attaching an excel table with the top 15 applicants</div>
<div class="">
<ul class="x_MailOutline">
<li class="">Columns A-R contain the original applications (incl. personal statement & research proposal)</li><li class="">Columns S to X contain the initial scores by those who helped us out</li><li class="">Column Y contains the average of these scores</li><li class=""><font color="#0433ff" class=""><b class="">Column Z is new and we would like as many of you as possible to fill this in for us</b></font></li><ul class="">
<li class=""><font color="#0433ff" class="">The info we need is simple: <b class="">
Would you be able to (co-)supervise this student?</b></font></li><li class=""><b class=""><font color="#0433ff" class="">4 possible answers</font></b></li><ul class="">
<li class=""><font color="#0433ff" class="">3 = Yes, definitely. I am actually keen to be part of the supervisory team for this student</font></li><li class=""><font color="#0433ff" class="">2 = Fine, I could see myself getting involved in supervising</font></li><li class=""><font color="#0433ff" class="">1 = Hmmm, borderline but I could get involved as co-supervisor</font></li><li class=""><font color="#0433ff" class="">0 = No, not really</font></li></ul>
<li class=""><font color="#0433ff" class="">We would ideally like as many <b class="">
interdisciplinary supervisory teams</b> as possible</font></li><ul class="">
<li class=""><font color="#0433ff" class="">So please <b class="">consider whether you can score a 1, even if it is not your principal area of interest</b></font></li><li class=""><font color="#0433ff" class="">For example: Say you are a Health Psychologist and the application is behavioural-economics heavy but touches on health-related questions, we would be grateful if you didn’t dismiss it right away but would consider
joining perhaps as secondary supervisor (and score with 1)</font></li></ul>
</ul>

</div>
</div>
<div class=""><b class=""><u class=""><font color="#0433ff" class="">So here is the favour: Could I ask each of you to fill in column Z of the attached table and return to me by this coming Monday, noon?</font></u></b></div>

<li class="">As always: The more the merrier</li></ul>
