Project with first time PhD supervisor
E

A project I am considering is being offered by someone who is a new academic and is just setting up his research group at the moment. Does anyone have any thoughts on how having a first time PhD supervisor would affect a PhD? And how much I should take this into consideration when deciding?
(Interested in both pros and cons)

Emailing potential PhD supervisor

Thanks! Yep, I have applied for it :)

Emailing potential PhD supervisor

Thanks. The face to face advice wouldn't work as the university is quite a way away from where I am currently. I did email though and that was fine. Don't know what I was worried about really!

Emailing potential PhD supervisor
E

I'm planning to apply for a PhD project, and contacted the supervisor a couple of weeks ago to let them know I'm interested, and they replied to basically acknowledge that.
Since then I've come up with some questions about the project - is it ok for me to now email them to ask? or is it weird as it is a while after the first emails?

(Sorry if this is a really stupid question, but I'm still new to the whole applying for PhDs thing..)

PhD Interview - what to wear (female)

I have PhD interview next week, but I'm not sure what to wear.
Would black jeans with a blouse and jumper combo be smart enough?
