Schools Entrance in Princeton University for Post doct. in cosmology

AI Thread Summary
To gain entrance into a post-doctoral position in Cosmology at Princeton University after completing an integrated M.Sc. and Ph.D. in India through the JEST exam, candidates must understand that post-doctoral roles are competitive job positions rather than qualifications based on GPA or exams. Success in securing a position often hinges on the relevance of the candidate's Ph.D. research to the proposed post-doctoral work, possessing specific skills required for the role, and any prior communication or collaboration with the research group at Princeton. Networking and aligning research interests with the prospective post-doctoral project are crucial for enhancing candidacy.
