| Dec 10, 2013 at 4:49 | comment | added | egwene sedai | @AnonymousMathematician I'm applying for theoretical physics postdoc U.S. and Asian universities. I agree that if you change the wording of your cover letter a bit and do not call both professors they are the 'best' you've known you possibly won't upset them but I've never applied before so help from someone who's experienced maybe beneficial to me and others who may have the same question. | |

| Dec 10, 2013 at 3:58 | comment | added | Anonymous Mathematician | It's worth specifying the context (e.g., which field and country you are in). In mathematics in the U.S., I can't see any reason why applying to two postdocs at the same institution would be a problem. In particular, I don't think applying to another position at the same university would be more like to upset someone than applying to another university. However, maybe this varies between fields. | |
