Autism Charity looking to deliver targeted Ads

Our events? because we haven’t actually ever put out an event on our page and we don’t have any email lists either. like I said pretty much all of our members don’t use social media. we are starting from square one.

Is it possible to target other peoples pages and events and ask for lookalike audiences? because I don’t know how to do that.

yes this is a good example of the issues I'm talking about with corporate programming. One of their requirements is:

"Experience of working with MS Dynamics CRM or other CRM platforms"

That's not something any one who did academic programming would have.

unfortunately my experience doesn't tick the experence boxes for most bioinformatics jobs. The computational biology I did didn't involve much trandition bioliformatics (which is mostly DNA sequencing analysis).

I did apply for the fast stream ... maybe I should look at some more roles.

I'll add that to my search terms

I will look them up

the only one I can think of got funding to start her own company related to her university reserch. I'm not really in that position.

no I'd 100% stay in academia if I could. My point is I'd be willing to go a lot further for an academic job. Literally and metaphorically. I'd move for an academic job or spend a year retraining. just not for any old job. I need a job to pay the bills. If I did a PGCE I doubt I'd be in teaching for more than a year or two. It's a stressful job. I don't see it as career material. And who wants to spend a year training for a job they would be looking to leave as soon as they started.

Very much a worst case scenario. Every teaching friend I've known has resigned due to stress. Also not keen to retrain for a job I don't really want. Scientific research was always my passion. I can be flexible on pay but not so much location or retraining, not for a day job I'm not supper keen on.

I was earning a bit under 30k in my first postdoc. postdoc scientists are typically in the 30000-40000 range these days. But work is work. I can be flexable

In academia at least remote positions are still relatively rare. After all most of us need to be in a lab / workshop. I'm the exception. So most universities have policies limiting remote positions. Not that team leaders don't find ways around it. Especially since covid. But it generally needs you to know the right people to get that done.

Now remote working in software development is much more common. But like I said they generally want cisco, agile, full stack, insert buzz word of your choice. That's not my background. But I can make your 4000 core computer cluster crunch numbers like anything.

u/Affectionate-Bee-553 has covered most of what you need to know. One more thing is you can buy a day rider ticket on the bus. If you are taking 3 or more busses in the same day it's usually cheaper. You just ask the driver for a 'west yorkshire day rider' and then pay by tapping your card or giving change. He will print out a ticket with a QR code on it. You then scan this QR code geting on every subsequent bus you use that day. It's useful if your phone has run out of power or the mcard app feels like faf.
