Prospective Students
If you would like to do research under my supervision, please follow these guidelines carefully:
- Postdoc: I do not have a fully-funded postdoc position open at the moment. If you have (or plan to have) funding for postdoctoral research and are interested in conducting it in my group, please contact me to inquire about availabilities.
- Ph.D.:To do a Ph.D. under my supervision you will need a strong background in software engineering and software evolution and a track record of software engineering research, including a research degree (such as M.Sc.) on the topic, and ideally one or more publications. To inquire about potential openings, send me an email including: a) a link to your webpage; b) a link to your CV (pdf); c) a brief research statement (2-3 paragraphs) describing your proposed area of research and project avenues, and how they fit with my research program; d) the keyword "[SWEVO-RQ]" in the subject of your email. Please remember that I cannot discuss your admission into the Ph.D. program. [Apply to the Ph.D. program].
- M.Sc.: If you would like to do a Master's degree under my supervision, please apply to the M.Sc. program directly, listing me as a potential supervisor. You do not need to contact me. Once you are at McGill, please come and see me if you are interested in working with me. [Apply to the M.Sc.. program].
- Undergraduates: If you are currently enrolled in a degree program offered at McGill, you can contact me to inquire about project supervision. I also occasionally have openings for part-time and/or summer projects, typically at the beginning or end of academic terms. I currently do not have internships available for non-McGill students.
