Hi everyone,
I'm approaching my submission date on the 30th (woo!) and so I've been taking a look round at several job opportunities. I'm thinking of applying for one post which would be fan-tast-tic as my PhD topic fits so well with the project. Ironically, the deadline for applications is also my submission date.
There is one problem....my examiner is the lead researcher recruiting for the post.
I'm aware of the rules surrounding contact with your examiner before your viva but this seems like too good an opportunity to pass up. If I apply for the post and they don't like my research, my viva could be a nightmare. On the other hand, if I apply and get the job then my viva could be with my boss.
What would you do??
