Questions about my potential PhD advisor

[QUOTE="Alex_Walker, post: 6452257, member: 513535"] I am considering a PhD program in Physics, and my prospective advisor is a more mature faculty member (full professor, late career). I am really interested in the field of study, and the advisor's students speak really highly of their experiences. Are there any advantages or disadvantages to doing a PhD with someone who is an late-career advisor such as this? My goal after completing my PhD is to be competitive for postdocs and, ultimately (long-shot, I know), to secure a faculty position. With this goal in mind, what should I look for in an advisor in general? Thank you for your advice! [/QUOTE]
