Greetings,
I have been in contact with Aubrey for years, and through frustration sent this message to the person whom he referred me to:

Hello Camelia,

I am not interested in the equal opportunity regulations, as I am in the top .01% of qualified candidates. I have been applying for eons (a futile effort) and will continue to do so, both in Gainesville and for other worthwhile researchers such as Dr. Kenyon. When you have an opportunity open up, do let me know.

Yours,

James

James,

Thank you for your continued interest in our Department. Let me take this opportunity to remind you that, should we have any position available in the future, it is very important that you apply for the position online at http://www.hr.ufl.edu/job/default.htm.

Due to Equal Opportunity Employment regulations, we as a Department cannot interview or hire any potential candidates unless they have applied online for a particular position, and were selected as qualified and thus forwarded to us by the UF HR specialists.

Please contact the HR Department at 392-4621, or me if you have questions or concerns about any position for which you have applied, or the hiring process in general.

Thank you,

Camelia

Dr. Leeuwenburgh,

You may remember me from last year; I have been attempting to enter into the Aging Lab as an employee (TEAMS). So far, in spite of the postings which I have applied for over the year, I have had no one interested in my qualifications.

At any rate, I am providing you with my cover letter and an updated version of my curriculum vitae. As you may recall, I originally learned of your lab by email communications with Dr. de Grey. Furthermore, I have a folder in my file cabinet containing roughly 60 of your publications which I have studied in the past and sketched out future thought-experiments on.

I met with Dr. Carter last year and she informed me that she was too busy to train a volunteer. I am still confident that, at some point in the future, the aging lab @ UF will have time to allow me to make a contribution. I will keep Dr. de Grey informed of the outcomes.

I do not need to be thanked for my "continued interest": I am only interested in living
my life. Regretfully, it seems that the University of Florida Department of Aging is not, in any way, working with us.

P.S.
I DO intend to expose the frauds in our field, of which I will not name as of yet. What goes around,
comes around.

[jfarrgator]

So, it seems that the potential to save the lives of hundreds of thousands of human beings is being thwarted by the "system"....

James,

I will definitely keep you in mind in case we have something appropriate for you coming up - please remember that you will have to apply online for a specific position available in order to be hired with UF, though.

Just FYI: UF is an Equal Employment Opportunity institution, and therefore we all HAVE to comply with the EEO requirements... no choice there for us.

Good luck with Dr. Kenyon,

Camelia

This is a classic example of stonewalling by death proponents. I am, shall I say, "blessed" by the opportunity to expose this reality in real-time. If physical immortality ever does come, it obviously will not be from the usa. Trust me, I have been going through this for years. Why else would I not be working right now???

[jfarrgator]

I am so disgusted by the fraud involved here. No one whom i have met wants to ameliorate the aging condition....they stonewall and jabber instead.

[Live Forever]

What are you doing?

I am so disgusted by the fraud involved here.  No one whom i have met wants to ameliorate the aging condition....they stonewall and jabber instead.

You joined up here on June 27th, 2006. Less than a day and you are making comments like that

I, for one, am a researcher looking at various aspects of mitochondrial aging. If that comment above was made to just one single person from this institute, me, my many human subjects would disagree strongly with you. There are many researchers here that are trying to amerliorate the aging condition.

I disagree stongly with your comment

[Lazarus Long]

Sincerely James, do you have a point to this thread or is this just a disgruntled rant at not getting a job?

Would you please elaborate on the particulars and clarify your intent for this thread and your subsequent comments?

[Shepard]

Maybe he isn't talking about us?

[zoolander]

I moved some of this thread from another unrelated thread because it was off-topic.

It appears that he is just angry at not being recognised.

James,

In the above comments you have not mentioned your qualifications. Maybe you are not qualified enough yet to work in the labs that you have applied for.

This sort of reminds me of American idol. I won't give examples but we have all seen those people who believe they sing but can't.

Is this the case with you James?
