PhD or Job
P

Same goes for AOE - just stay in your job. Keep the PhDs and searching for academic jobs for people with nothing better to do! (Only partly sarcastic?)

PhD or Job
P

In my opinion you should absolutely not in a million years pass up the job. Browse this forum - see how many PhD grads don't get jobs in academics. Take the job and enjoy your life.

guidance PhD position
P

Did you try googling Multiphysics? I did - try this website: http://www.multiphysics.org/index.php and look around the conference pages, might give you some names. Not sure if that's any use to you.

what is the best plagiarism detection tool?
P

KimWipes - I've done that too and found whole essays copied from (usually earlier edition?) textbooks which are available online. Makes me wonder how I got away with it when I was an undergrad haha /joke.

Failed 1st year viva...I seriously need some advice
P

If failing your first year viva really that fatal? Mine was basically a paper exercise where I just had to make the requested changes? Either way, re-go for the PhD if ever you can.

Applying for phd studentship with no msc?
P

Eds is right if it does say 'and / or masters' then you'll need a masters. But I'd apply anyway.

Third class admission and funding chances
P

Zero.

what is the best plagiarism detection tool?
P

I think the standard one at Universities is turnitin. The Uni should offer a version which doesn't remember, so your thesis won't come up as all being plagiarised.

Viva - anyone else with a similar experience?
P

I don't know - what did you want them to do? Give you a pat on the head? They are academics and the key word in academics is criticism. All academics are perfectionists. Well done by the way, a great achievement.

when self-funding is the only way...
P

I'm just wondering, could you not try to get a new job at a University? Not easy I guess but something you could maybe look into? If you're working there they'd put you through your phd.

Need British respondents please :)
P

Done, good fun.

Leverhulme Early Career Fellowship

If you search the website you will find thee answer; viz: https://www.leverhulme.ac.uk/sites/default/files/Help_notes/ECF-help-notes-2016.pdf

Aptitude tests (numerical, verbal, logical,...)
P

Google 'psychometric test practice'. Easy. I was always hopeless as these tests , guess that's why I'm doing a PhD.

Factors Influencing Consumers' Purchase Intention toward Groupon in Malaysia
P

Yup, you need a N/A option for Q2, or a 'Go to section something if No'. Or, you need to only ask people who use groupon to complete the survey. Or we could just pretend?

Applying for several positions simulataneously?
P

Apply for as many things as you are qualified for - you need to live. If you get several offers and have to reject some that will quickly be taken up by someone else - Win / Win.
