You might get another response which i started then lost. I'll try to be
absolutely honest. While It's certainly worth a try, there are some factors
u should think about:
1. ur age might count against u and the fact that ur retired. Don is 83 but
then as the incumbent he aged on the job. He also created the lab.
2. U don't really have a research record in the academic sense (peer
reviewed papers?) and Don has set a high bar as a prolific writer of
challenging articles, although ur expertise and experience has been
recognised in keynote speaker invitations and ur appointment as examiner at
Stanford, who could provide references (Unless the've all passed on.) 3.
You certainly have educational and service experience both at UCT and CPUT,
4. Demonstrated leadersip experience at UCT.
5. On the questionof diversity u might grapple with PC-ness!
I hope these comments are helpful and that u see them as constructive.
It might be a good idea to start drawing up a CV together with some form
of personal design philosophy statement and then take another good look
based on the facts u've laid out. Good luck with ur ruminations.
I didn't see anything about short term lectureships in the ad. Did i miss
it?
All my love
Ur friend! Mel
