Link here. Sounds like it could turn into something more (why not "probationary senior scientist"?). If it's a postdoc, will they be allowed to publish? [ed: Never mind that, CJ, just tell the folks at home, so they can decide.]

As I recall, there's some decent Asian food further on down Mira Mesa Boulevard, so there's that.

  1. Weren't they hiring for a full-time position just a few months ago? Did they fill that position or is this the same position but with lower pay?

  2. Ouff...PDF at a btech startup.....have to be pretty hard up to take this, worst of industry zero benefits of a university, I imagine (though, no doubt, they've received 50+ CVs by now).

    Stock options, though...I do not know anyone who's made serious $ off of options in startup btechs.

    There is an awesome, super cheap and delicious, Vietnamese place abt 5 miles east on MM.

    1. Is it on the north side of Mira Mesa, in the one big strip mall? Then, yeah, I agree.
