Peter advice

  • Figure out your focus.
  • Have all the stuff from your PhD published (at least submitted), make sure your post-doc moves forward.  (#1 mistake).
  • Publish with data folks to show you have much to offer the non-theorist community
  • Speak to potential advisers, get them excited about the work.
  • Berkeley over Michigan over NESCent/NIMBioS.
  • Visit Berkeley.  Ackerley on sabbatical?
