AI Thread Summary
In seeking research opportunities, it's essential to provide a comprehensive CV and transcript to the professor. The CV should highlight relevant skills, coursework, and any extracurricular activities that demonstrate passion for physics, despite a lack of formal research experience. Including a brief covering letter expressing enthusiasm for the subject and the desire to learn can be beneficial. Honesty about experience levels is encouraged, and seeking advice from current research assistants or graduate students can provide valuable insights.

I am currently in my 3rd year of physics and I wanted to do some research with a professor. I have emailed him and he said that I need to provide him with a transcript and a cv. But I have no experience doing research at all. So what do I include in the cv?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Everything about yourself that you think is important and not in the transcript.
The prof will realize that you have little or no experience.
You may want to say how passionate you are for the subject, and why, in a short covering letter. Be precise.

I know it's scary. It's best to be honest and take the consequences.
Best advise will come from the profs other research assistants or grad students.
 
Ok, that's sounds like a plan, thank you so much for the great advice!
 
Good luck :)
