| Jun 19, 2014 at 11:47 | comment | added | Dmitry Savostyanov | @DavidZ I agree that this is very typical, but are there any ethical concerns here? For example, early marriages are typical in some countries, but are not considered ethical in the rest of the world. | |
| Jun 19, 2014 at 1:53 | comment | added | David Z | In some fields this is the standard way to "apply" for postdocs. | |

| Jun 18, 2014 at 20:40 | comment | added | Dmitry Savostyanov | @gerrit What I mean is a position funded from a grant / project / department of a professor, not a result of joint application to a council. | |
| Jun 18, 2014 at 20:38 | comment | added | gerrit | Why would it be harder to terminate early? If you approach a potential supervisor and successfully write an application together, you're arguably more independent than if they have the money and hire you for a project they need to have done. | |
| Jun 18, 2014 at 20:38 | comment | added | Dmitry Savostyanov | I am sorry, I do not see any difference between these two regarding the ethics. Can we discuss both? | |
| Jun 18, 2014 at 20:37 | comment | added | BrenBarn | @DmitrySavostyanov: That still doesn't really answer the clarification question. The question is are you asking about positions that are known to exist (even if not publically), or are you just asking people without knowing if they have postdoc positions at all? | |
| Jun 18, 2014 at 20:31 | comment | added | Dmitry Savostyanov | I'd like to talk about positions that do not exist in public space. The recommendations of colleagues to ask a specific professor, for example. Word of mouth. Networking through your current supervisor. Any situation when a candidate should initiate a contact with prospective professor, asking for something that is not publicly here yet. | |
| Jun 18, 2014 at 20:24 | comment | added | Moriarty | Clarification needed: are you looking to ask about a known position that colleagues have said actually exists, or are you looking to simply ask if the professor has any funding available for a new postdoc? | |
