Hi all,
Wondered what your thoughts were on the following blog article:
I'm looking for some casual/sessional/associate lecturer hours to tide me over for a year or two while I build my research profile up following my successfully passed PhD. I'm not sure these hours are always posted on job websites, so it may be that there are gaps to fill that I/we don't know about.
Do you think it looks desperate or needy to contact a department/HoD direct, asking if there's any guest sessions or hours available? I'm caught in two minds. If I do go ahead and do as the blog suggests, I'm thinking maybe a letter would be more professional than one of hundreds of emails they'll get a day/week.
Any thoughts?
