The conversation between human and AI assistant.
Should I take up an offer to work with a professor who cannot guarantee funding but whose research I find very interesting or should I take up an offer to work with a professor who is more positive about giving funding even though I'm not quite as interested in his/her work?
Good point. How would you suggest I evaluate the potential of funding opportunities?
It may be helpful to look at the funding history of the professor and their success rate in receiving grants. Additionally, you could consider the level of competition for the funding opportunities and your own qualifications for the specific opportunity.
