Thanks Ian, I think I understand. I'll look into it and see if I can make a take down request (it's already bound). I nearly asked on here but thought it was a done deal that it had to be open. It's not rational but I get really annoyed when people assume this topic is my area of interest.

Did anyone else respond to the advert on an academic jobs website from the University of South Australia?
More generally, what's it like working and living in Australia - I've always had notions for it but don't know anyone in Australia.

Why would an academic want to see my thesis when it is not in an area of interest to them? This academic is aware of my interests and we have a common interest (but it's not the topic of my thesis).
Any thoughts? They're being very vague...
Bewildered, I admire you. You worked hard and are in a post you strived for but you seem to keep your feet firmly on the ground and give a good overview of academia which helps people get an insight and make informed decisions. I hope you always remain like that. In the department I was with they totally sold the benefits of doing a PhD to me (tried to encourage me to consider self-funding) but being astute I knew the reality of what the future would most likely be. I groan when I see or hear of people that self-fund because it may be a poor investment in terms of time and money. I feel very fortunate that I was funded and due to the recession and lack of other opportunities I suppose I had time to spend on it.
