| Sep 16, 2011 at 12:57 | comment | added | Joel David Hamkins | It is relatively rare in mathematics for a paper to have so many authors, but I have seen it, and these papers are difficult to assess. Everyone knows that with such a paper that not all the authors have made the same contribution, so again the committee would need to dig deep into the recommendation letters. (The question is whether they will give you this chance, if you are competing with 400 other applicants.) Frankly, applying for a post-doc and having only a single paper, with 5 authors, is not a strong record. | |
