And even once you get beyond that stage, nowadays you find yourself in temporary positions. Anyone have a job for a biostatistician? Have cat, will travel.
John, this reminds me. I've been wanting to ask you if your job search is going okay. If it's going tough, any chance of renewing or finding a new postdoc?
Congratulations.:) Perhaps I missed the announcement. You'll need to redo your profile. Add more about a varied career.:) Is it Philosophy of Religion or plain Religion? I suppose I agree with you more about species concepts than religion. But you might have a stronger background in religion compared to biology.:)
We agree that religion tends to change. But I suppose we also have our differences.:) For example, I see primitive monotheism in the Yahwist and a maturing monotheism in the Deuteronomist.
I shall remain an eternal student until the day I die or lose my remaining mental faculties. As it happens, the profile was amended, as you can see if you read down past the pic...
The blog won't change. It is still for whatever is passing through my forebrain at a moment. My research is on the naturalisation of religion.
"As every enquiry, which regards religion, is of the utmost importance, there are two questions in particular, which challenge our attention, to wit, that concerning its foundation in reason, and that concerning its origin in human nature." David Hume, The Natural History of Religion

I thought I announced it, but I have a second postdoc now at the University of Sydney, starting next year. It's on religion.

So what direction will you take your blog?
John Wilkins is an eternal postdoc, who thinks religion is at least as interesting as politics or sport and twice as important....

John, I'm not finding a clear definition of "the naturalization of religion". Could you give us a simple one paragraph definition?
"As every enquiry, which regards religion, is of the utmost importance, there are two questions in particular, which challenge our attention, to wit, that concerning its foundation in reason, and that concerning its origin in human nature." David Hume, The Natural History of Religion
The latter is the naturalisation project.
