There is a job advertised at my local uni (I go to one 2 hours away). I've specialised in a certain subject area and the job is in a different specialism BUT its only an RA position and they only require a BSc in the core discipline (which I have).
btw - yes it is less pay than I was looking for, but it actually pays more because I don't have to factor in many £ks in travel. Plus it looks like a doddle, so if I did get it, it would allow me to finish up my PhD, do publications etc and try a get a job in my related discipline at the same time (bit cheeky I know).
Anyway, would you apply?
And if so, how would you go about explaining the fact you had done an MSc and a PhD in a different specialism?
