London is insane for RA jobs. Most of them go to people with PhDs these days. Shouldn't be legal.

just in Queen Square I know of several RA jobs that went to people who would have been competitive for postdocs elsewhere.

sad because those people are shortchanging themselves (they should be in a PD), and makes very hard for UGs to get needed experience

Our lab manager has only UG. Makes me wonder if PIs could stop this as much anybody else, if not more.

In all cases I've witnessed incldng lab manager posts: mixture of nepotism in Ox cases and definitely lots of PI power to choose in general.
