IIRC I'm a "Doctor at philosophy" (yes, strange) but I can't remember where
I've stored my certificate, so I can't check. (The last safe place turned out
to be less than safe when someone attempted to spill tea onto it. Fortunately
she missed)

PhD in Geophysics from the University of Liverpool - "Three dimensional
structural restoration of extensional fault displacements using elastic
dislocation theory". I thought I had a postscript file of my thesis
somewhere online, but it seems no more. Maybe I should regenerate it, not
that anyone would be interested.

But I was trying to create a thread about jobs, not about me. Jobs are far
more interesting than me.
