I would email him saying that your interests match his very well and you'd be interested in working with him, as a post-doc ('cause you're graduating, duh!) and send along your CV for him to look at it. Maybe he can collapse it into 3 PhD and 1 post-doc or something. Can't hurt to ask.

I would also assume that this person is not short on cash, and perhaps the idea of a postdoc is appealing to the professor, but didn't realize there were people nearby (you won't have relocating expenses, so that's good!).<BR/><BR/>Also, maybe request an in-person meeting to talk more about possibilities!<BR/><BR/>Good luck.<BR/><BR/>Do you like this person?

I obtained a couple interviews from people who were originally looking for something else. <BR/><BR/>The only problem I could see is if it's grant money that's specifically allocated for field expenses vs salary vs. pre-doctoral training. But I'd think it was worth a shot. Good luck (if you decide to contact him)!post-dochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06493309260165352484noreply@blogger.com
