It's been a long time since I've had to write grant proposals, but my proposal has been accepted. As soon as the funding comes through, which it should do within the week, I'll be upgrading and significantly improving the laboratories within the medicolegal department of the NYPD. Additionally, my budget request included funding for up to three assistants who have a graduate degree in forensic science. Special exceptions may be made for students currently working towards their degree, less qualified but extensively experienced scientists, or the equivalent of such a degree from other types of qualification systems in other worlds.
I am now accepting applications for these positions. If interested, you may send your resume and cover letter to
[email]. It should be noted that my standards are extremely high and, while I have no expectation or intention of being able to replace the assistants I had at home, I will not accept anything less than rational, empirical, intelligent minds with ambitions of a career in forensic science. Specialties in most scientific fields will be considered (anthropology being preferred but not required); individuals with backgrounds in multiple science fields are ideal. As much as I appreciate the tendency of scientists to organize their fields of study into smaller categories in order to gain a deeper, more precise focus on their subject, ridiculously narrow fields (such as forensic podiatry) are unlikely to be considered helpful.
You may visit the website of the NYC Office of Chief Medical Examiner or contact me directly for more information. I look forward to working with the NYPD to make this city a safer place.
