Sorry may i know in what field? haha..

Well, they have to start somewhere right?

Some universities require lecturer to have experience as co-supervisor prior to becoming a main. The first few batches are where the supervisors will be experimenting  we will follow first how we were trained before and then modify accordingly. So, if your potential supervisor graduated from a good school, then chances are u will be ok.

Hi.

Anyone having experience of having a new lecturer as supervisor?
Currently i came across a vacancy as RA (who has the intention to continue master study) from a local university website. I applied the vacancy, and at the same day, the lecturer called me. The shocked thing is that she asking me whether i want to go phD with her, as my result is in the first class range.

FYI, the main purpose i apply the RA position is to learn knowledge and technique for lab setting, and perhaps continue study after i master the skill.

Now i am like tergantung at somewhere else. I really want be a lecturer.. Dont know should i follow this lecturer or not. She is too new, graduated last year, from London.

Any one can share some of your thoughts here? Thanks a lot.

Any ways to check whether he is of high quality? Browsing through goggle, cnt find his journal. Except the phD thesis, won undergraduate best student price, and get scholarship to study overseas. Maybe he is too new that's why not much information?

Yup, he must be very new. Checking his graduating university would give you some indication. Newly graduated lecturer is not expected to have long list. Some even published their postgrad works a few years after their graduation. I published only abstracts before my graduation, but now averaged about 20-30 publications/year, with total of 303 peer reviewed since graduated in 2008.
One sure way to see you click is to see how he communicate with you. If it's prompt, informative and helpful, then that would indicate his interest in supervision.

That research already has a grant since one year ago. Till now still no students want to do that research. May i know,  is research title important for one's future in lecturing line? is getting a phD more important or start with master with a tough title which need to struggle a lot yet can learn quite a lot  more important?

my previous experience with a newly graduated lecturer as my SV is a huge headache! and some of my colleagues in the same lab have the same bad experiences.
I cant assume every newly-grad lecturers are the same but think twice, perhaps talk to some more senior lecturers before you decide

Any reputable university will usually impose certain restrictions as to who is allowed to supervise. The general rule is a minimum of 2 years tenure is required for one to become a main supervisor.

I already feeling damn headache now

Yes there are other co-sv but... 

Sorry but is it common to have co-supervisors? I am interested in taking a PhD and always assumed we'd only have one supervisor.

Wouldn't it be offensive to have a co-supervisor as if the first one isn't qualified enough.

Advice?

My experience is try to get a senior academics as your main supervisor. Co-SV can be from a junior lecturer

I presumed that you have started the PhD program.

Since you belong to the first generation of PhD students, you need set up the equipment and apparatus you’ll need to acquire data. Lacking the support of an established group, you and your fellow colleagues will probably spend a lot of energy in building equipment, designing research methods, constructing new empirical models, learning how to use curve-fitting tools, or even writing new programming codes in Mathematica, C#, Anduino.

What is your real concern?

Feeling so tension now whether should continue or not. My family queries me a lot whether my research title is good enuf to secure me a job after i grad? LOL!!
