My job atm is creating more healthy and sustainable food in London, which involves working with schools, hospitals, NHS, DoH, farmers, supermarkets, etc, to influence what food gets eaten, particularly in schools and hospitals where the consumers can't go elsewhere.
Ooh! Ooh! Can I come and work with you? [/perfectjob]

The subject matter is fantastic. Getting stuff done (or rather, getting other people to get stuff done) is somewhat more frustrating.

Would you be interested in working 1,2, or 3 days a week? Any relevant experience? [thinks of how you could explain your PhD thesis as relevant...]
Looks like we have more funding for the next financial year and will be looking for more people.

OMG!! Prob 1-2 days a week, not sure any more would be do-able (and definitely not until I finish my PhD, which will be a few months yet).

Re experience - well, I've done a bastardload of research in various areas of science policy, technology development, and public understanding of science. My PhD thesis is on socio-cultural-economic aspects of knowledge exchange (ie. could be *how* various socio-economic groups get their info/share their info on food). And my MSc thesis (in Science and Technology Policy) was on perceived risks of organic food, from the perspective of farmers, policy makers and the general public...

But nothing until I finish the damn PhD!!
