A big thank you to everyone who contributed with their initial scoring of EoIs. These were enormously helpful!

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. 

1. Do we have supervisory capacity for a proposal like this?
2. Is the proposal credibly interdisciplinary?

For this, we would like to ask for your help one last time.

I am attaching an excel table with the top 15 applicants

• Columns A-R contain the original applications (incl. personal statement & research proposal)
• Columns S to X contain the initial scores by those who helped us out
• Column Y contains the average of these scores
• Column Z is new and we would like as many of you as possible to fill this in for us
• The info we need is simple: Would you be able to (co-)supervise this student?
• 4 possible answers
• 3 = Yes, definitely. I am actually keen to be part of the supervisory team for this student
• 2 = Fine, I could see myself getting involved in supervising
• 1 = Hmmm, borderline but I could get involved as co-supervisor
• 0 = No, not really
• We would ideally like as many interdisciplinary supervisory teams as possible
• So please consider whether you can score a 1, even if it is not your principal area of interest
• 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)

• As always: The more the merrier
