Manager: I have circulated a posting for the position of Social Scientific Researcher. ██████████ ████ ████ ██████ ██ ██████ █████████ ███ █ █████ ██████ ██ █████████ █████████ ██ ████ ████ ████████ ████ ███████████ ███ ████████ ██████ ███ █████ ████████████ ███ ██████████ ███████████ ███ ██████████
There are two ways an applicant can be eligible for the Social Scientific Researcher position:
(1) an earned doctorate in sociology, psychology, or education AND a track record of published research in that field; OR
(2) five years' work experience in sociology, psychology, or education.
Since either option will make an applicant eligible, the ineligible applicant we're looking for will not meet either qualification. In other words, they will have:
(1) no earned doctorate in sociology, psychology, or education OR no track record of published research in that field; AND
(2) less than five years' work experience in sociology, psychology, or education.
