PhD EOI appropriate follow up timeline
Hi guys,
Last weekend I discovered a funded PhD biology project in the UK (application deadline 1st June), and I have sent a quick EOI email this Monday (with my CV and transcript attached) to the supervisors, but I have not received a response. The project requires the student to contact the project supervisors to discuss suitability before lodging an application, and the deadline is looming close (Monday the week after), so I am thinking of following up tomorrow morning or on Friday (3-4 business days after the initial EOI).
Is this follow-up time frame appropriate? Should I play by the norm and wait until next Monday (5 business days/1 week since the last email) for the follow up, or should I follow up ASAP (like right now) to schedule a discussion if possible with both supervisors? Or should I just quit this opportunity and look for others to save time?
Thanks in advance for any insights that you guys can provide.
