Wow thanks for your reply Marisa (I've noticed you reply alot on here over the years), the Vetassess website accepts research only 'Research Associates and Fellows as long as you have publications within the last 5 years if I understand their website at all (please see below an excerpt from their website).
"For both teaching and non-teaching/research-only roles, at least one research paper, published in the last five years, is required for employment to be assessed positively.'
But I'm not sure if the states and federal immigration allocate as many lecturer places as biochemist. Trying to stack the chances in my favour, as much as I can do anyhow.
