Sorry, I've opened a third bottle.
I wouldn't wish Middlesborough on anyone,(although I imagine you'd get the PhD within 6 months, with nothing better to do...)

When do you find out if your applications have been successful?

Yeah, I went to Durham University
but I was at a campus about 5 miles outside of Middlesbrough, and spent 4 years there. I wouldn't go back unless it was a freaking awesome, queen-of-the-universe style job or PhD.
This oxford one is pretty quick; interviews are 13/14th December, so I find out in a few weeks. The other one whose deadline is tomorrow, he interview isn't til late January.

What is the overall ambition?
To use the research to get a job within medicine, or to get a professorship so you can help other students?

I'll carry on in research most likely
Professorship doesn't happen til you're about 50 or so!

But surely successful research results
in people wanting to know how you got there?

Or, in my uneducated way, am I missing the point?

I'm not sure
of anything other than that I've been asleep for the last five minutes and I desperately need to go to bed. Sorry, and night!
