(no subject)
A certain amount of uncertainty has crept over my future in the last few weeks. Looming large is my project deadline, 31st August - it feels a bit unreal. I have heard nothing about my PhD application - it would probably put my mind at ease if I knew for certain. I've been advised (by my parents) to keep my options open, which means looking at more universities and considering my job prospects.
For now, I've decided to make a few job applications (as soon as I get my resume in order!) and start lining up some universities. I'm inclined to stay within Europe, but I'm probably only looking at the U.k., Germany, Netherlands, and possibly Sweden and Finland (I'm not sure I'll be able to manage the climate for 3 years). I'll probably need to apply to the U.S. as well.
And so, I want advice, namely, where should I apply?
I'm interested in:
* Audio/Speech/(general) Signal Processing (not really inclined towards video/image processing, but who knows, it might be nice if I get into it).
* I won't rule out wireless networks/communication yet, but I don't think it would be my first preference.
If anyone has ideas/suggestions/anything to say, drop me a line.
It feels good when you write down what you have to do - it doesn't seem so insurmountable now :-)
