Research proposal for postdoc applications?

Question

I am a final year PhD student in Physics applying for postdoc. Usually institutes ask for statement of research in postdoc applications. But one of them asks for a research proposal (less than two pages). I already have a four page long research statement. I was thinking of omitting my past research part (I'll not be working on my thesis related work in future). Can someone suggest me how to modify a statement of research to make that a research proposal.

Answer 1

Shifting and adapting a research statement to a proposal can seem tedious and demanding, but you will get it completed. You will. Seek an academic proposal format involving physics. Go to a library and look up such this formatted structure.

You made a 4 page statement, now you must create a proposal by asking yourself some pertinent questions that will take what you have and convince the readers, you, and someone who would not even be interested in the subject, that your proposed research is effective and can work as an investment to your topic in Physics. Good luck.
