No paper, send chapter?

S

I applied for a researcher role. Since I do not have paper published yet, they are asking me to send the conclusion chapter from my thesis. Do you feel comfortable sending the entire chapter when u are not yet done with the Viva? Need suggestion please!

Well if you have nothing published, how else are they going to be able to judge the quality of your current research? They need to assess candidates fairly and if they have publications from others, they need a similar length writing sample from you. Your conclusion is probably asked for as it summarises your thesis's contribution to knowledge. I think if you want a chance at the job, then you need to send it, whether you feel comfortable or not.

If you have a manuscript submitted for review, you could just use that.
