The end of my job means I have 28 days to find a new one or f***-off back to Blighty.The worst bit is pulling Mk. 1 infant out of school.

Metal-organic frameworks and molecular magnetism.There is a post going in Edinburgh, but it's more of the same and I'd hoped to go for a lectureship. Something with a contract longer than one year.

completely beyond my comprehension then!I'm not too au faix with Postdocs. My wife talked about doing one a few years ago, but she got a lecturing job and that was pretty much the end of it. So, does this mean you're working in the private sector at the moment and trying to get funding through work, or are you at a uni?
Edinburgh's a good uni though right?

Uni.It's at Heriot-Watt, which is still a good uni. It's just that I've been a post doc for four years and wanted to get on a bit with this research lark.
