Dear Prospective PhD Applicant, I very much appreciate you find my work inspiring, but I have absolutely no interest at all in supervising future theses on making toxic tech such as #genAI #LLMs Very Slightly Less Toxic (tm). Personally for your future studies I’d encourage you to envision, seek out, study, and build technologies that have a role to play in just and sustainable futures. <3 🍀 #PhD #TormentNexus #TechOtherwise #AIslop

Immigrants completing PhDs in the US and then staying on to become residents is one of the things that has given the US a lead in technology. Spending US money to train PhDs and then telling them to "get the hell out of the country, you're not welcome here" is the US shooting itself in the foot. It took me 6 years to complete my PhD in the US. Would the border guards have let me back in to complete it after the new 4 year deadline? Who knows. For more than a dozen years after I left the US, I always told European academics that they should definitely plan to work or study in the US at some point. Now I tell them they should live and work in another country than the one they were first educated in, but I wouldn't go to the US if I was them. #F1Visa #USPol #ExpatLife #PhD

This might be a long shot, but if anyone wants to do a #PhD in #Chemistry or #MaterialsScience in #Berlin, I have an open position in my lab at @tuberlin@wisskomm.social : https://www.jobs.tu-berlin.de/en/job-postings/204252 The project is on modelling and measuring electrical conductivity of materials. I'm looking for someone with experience in DFT and python, also willing to work in the lab. Feel free to reach out by email or forward to anyone you think might be interested. Funding is confirmed at 100% TV-L E13 for 2 years.
