It can be done. My only PhD student ATM has a full time job elsewhere. I
sorta did that and one of my former PhD students also did not have a
regular PhD position. It may take a bit longer doing it this way. The
environment you are working in should be research minded of course.
Actually I think that for Andy it might work. At least in an environment
like my department where the distinction between scientific staff and
supporting staff is rather blurred. I think I mentioned it recently in
another thread, we do have a couple of people that started out as
supporting staff and then converted to do a PhD. I don't know enough
about the English system to know if such things are possible there.
