Re: This sounds interesting - Director of CREME - vacancy

Pay sucks for a "Director" position. Looks like one of those easy breezy positions. Your research assistants write papers for you, you put your name on them, visit a few conferences, speak at a few diversity events as the token Muslim guy, and collect a salary at the end.

Although I am sure this is in line with every British Pakistanis dream of not doing much and collecting welfare.
