Study pt and work pt should be fine. It's when one of them is full time that it's problematic.

Commute time is ok depending on how often you have to go in I guess. This varies. In many places there's no requirement to go in at all - you would have to check this with your supervisors.

Expect to work 20 hours a week as part time.

Supervision varies from weekly to every three months... basically how long is a piece of string.

Not sure about the funding thing.

If you want to be a psychologist, shouldn't you be thinking about professional doctorates, not a PhD?

That's basically it if you want to be a PI or work in industry.

If you don't want to do that you can be a technician and just execute a project under varying levels of instructor.

Yes to your last question.

It's about what skills you learn that can be applied to many different topics.

If you've completed your PhD, I would have hoped you would have obtained this knowledge already...

But here you go, I will tell you. You need to look on places like jobs.ac.uk (or similar if you are overseas) and find things that look suitable, then look at the essential and desirable requirements. With this, you should be able to tell what postdocs you are suitable for.

Anyone?

Google it?

It's great to have a general awareness of these things, but generally no, you need to be a specialise in your subject area, not the whole of learned society, so don't worry!

[congrats if you manage to do any of these!]

What pm133 said. You're describng the reality of a lab based PhD. Get on with it.

Hi Dunham, yes keep it generic. As you said, intro and methods and then say results of x, but don't go into the specifics of what these are in case you don't get them by the time the conference comes round.

No idea.

This is not a random Q&A forum.

What discipline are you in? You can publish it with little amendment if that will work, but most people in the Sciences, for example, find that it needs substantial revision or looking at from a different angle to get published.

There are very few options open to you for funding realistically. Most masters students self fund. Check out these two though:

What is you want to do? A PhD? Did you get a 2.1?
