Phd switch; how to go about it
C

Hi,

I started with a phd in Biology three months ago. Now i'm interviewing for another one which suits me much much better in terms of focusing more on white cells and the whole group in general. How do i go about this. Is it enough to tell the new one that my current one is a bad fit? I know for sure that it is and that I won't finish this project if I continue. However, I'm not sure what to tell during the interview. I don't want to be seen as someone who quits and I would only do this if I knew for sure the new project is an improvement. Also i talked to a lot of people about my current phd before reaching the conclusion that this is not it. Anyone experienced this? What did you say to your new group? How did you go about it? Any tips would be welcome.

Best,
Carolina
