Your advice and suggestions are well appreciated. My long term goal is definitely a research career in physics after PhD and Postdoc in some universities not necessarily in Europe or America. I can look out for faculty job in my own country which is not so difficult to get into if I have good...

So far I have not approached the professors. I am thinking of discussing the matter with one of the professors at math department. In the meanwhile, I am trying to find out possibilities of applying to Europe if none of the option works out.

My thesis was in phenomenology. It has to do with neutrino oscillation.

@ Vanadium, I am not sure whether you are actually discouraging or helping in some ways. Though, your perspective is appreciated. I have not quit the present PhD program. Its simply that I am looking for better position with good research potential. Let us see what others have to suggest. I need...

Well, I can say that it was due to my shortsightedness. That time, I got only offer from that university out of total six programs that I applied. Moreover, time seemed to be running out as I was already 34 years old when I got that offer last year. So, I accepted the offer as I was not sure of...

I know this bit awkward, but seriously I am in need of some advice due to my strange situation. Last year I joined a graduate school at US which is ranked below 150 as I got only offer from this university and rejected from the rest of universities where I applied. I was not at all happy...

@Yenchin, yes there are few profs working in the field of general relativity at math department. But, it is not possible to switch department in this university. They conduct their own selection exam for PhD entry based on some math syllabus. So, it is impossible for me to get into their PhD...

There are other groups which are active in research and other departments as well in the university doing research. So, each and every students enrolled here for PhD program get some sort of financial support from the university. It just happens that I am not simply interested in the areas where...

My problem is that I am already 35 years old. So, if I apply to get into other research institutes, I will end up losing more time hopping around these places and moreover, its not easy to get financial supports to do research. In this situation, I don't want to consider the option of applying...

Recently I joined a PhD program in a small unknown university in Asia. In the department, most of the faculties work on material and nano science except a professor who works on Astrophysics. The astrophysics professor agreed to be my supervisor and he asked me to work in the field of X-ray...
