An unexpected, but not completely irrational, semi-offer passed in front of me today.<\/p>\n
Before seeing the doctor for my quickie-surgery, I met with my committee chair. We talked about my prospectus, my committee, and the little side work I’m doing for him (ridiculous stuff that gives him an excuse to have me on payroll), when he causally mentions that his GAP partners need someone in India.<\/p>\n
My ears perked up. “Really? Where in India?”<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, the job is not in Delhi, it’s in Chennai<\/a>. It’s a short term contract (4-6 months). It’s a good job, one I’m very interested in (Project Manager<\/a> for a GAP<\/a> project using RDS<\/a> with MSM geared at HIV prevention). And it would pay well. And I could negotiate some data to use for my dissertation (that’s right, get paid to do a dissertation. That’s the usual way it’s done at Tulane.) And I could probably get done in the next school year.<\/p>\n I don’t know where this will lead, if they’ve already filled the position, or if I could negotiate what I’d need to make it happen. But it really gave me pause.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" An unexpected, but not completely irrational, semi-offer passed in front of me today.
