Dr Kafoutchoni’s reading

The real trap is the “single PDF”: the lab does not want a scattered application, and you also need to secure the Rutgers doctoral application. Put the documents together in the required order, keep the personal statement sober and written by you, and use the exact subject line “NSF PhD position”. If your field experience is limited, offset it with a clean CV and a motivation note that shows a clear research logic. Then send the complete file, and make sure the Rutgers application is underway before December 1, 2026.
