Academic etiquette for prospective students from outside Europe writing to European professors

The academia has its own etiquette and if you don’t know it, you run the risk to make stupid mistakes. The following lines are therefore meant for outsiders in order to help them avoiding such formal blunders.

From time to time I receive an email from a student from outside Europe (usually South Asia, but once from the US) who would like to gain a PhD in Europe and often ask whether I could supervise them at one of the Universities I am connected to. Since the pattern has some basic elements which always repeat themselves, I think it is useful to address some of these general points, hoping to help such prospective students.

Tenure Track position for “Indology” in Milan, Italy

I am sorry for the short notice, but I just found out that there is an opening in Italy, Milan, for a “Researcher of the type B”. This resembles a tenure track position, insofar as after 6 years one becomes Associate professor. The deadline is Monday the 5th of August and the application is relatively easy to prepare (cv, publications, signed declaration of authenticity of what you state in the cv). Here is the link for the text in Italian. I also uploaded here the English summary (scroll down until you find “Indology”). You can apply online, here.

Best of luck!
