Dear Elaena,
I have just received the below e-mail from Amanda Burls.
I am interested in the position to which Amanda's e-mail makes reference. However, I have a question. Given that the position seems to mainly involve critically appraising the peer-reviewed literature and carrying out systematic reviews, would it be possible for the job to be filled by myself whilst continuing to live in Barcelona with periodic trips (ie. once a month for 2-3 days at a time) to the University?
I have attached my CV for your interest.
Kind regards,
Adrian Wenban, B.Sc., B.App.Sc., M.Med.Sc., Ph.D. (Candidate)
