Hi all,
I am among many of you who are finishing their PhD soon.
Today, my supervisor spoke with one of the thesis reviewers. He said that my thesis is short and seems like I have copied some of Introduction part from someone else's thesis (which I did, but it was exactly what I wanted. I guess a lot of people do that). All my results are absolutely original and I put in a lot of work into that. He also pointed out some minor mistakes which can be easily taken care of. Now, I believe that the reviewer has already made up his mind to give me hard time during my thesis defense. I may have to resubmit after corrections after my thesis defesne.

I recently gave an interview for a postdoc. It went well and I think I will get the job (but that remains to be seen). My question is that if I get the postdoc and need to resubmit my thesis subject to correction, can I commence my postdoc without any problems? I mean, will I be "Dr. Endthisnow"?

Funny thing is that the other reviewer gave an excellent review and mentioned very minor corrections!

Thanks!
