How do I adopted a researcher? Can anybody answer my question?

I believe the simplest way is to post your "resume", just to state what you have the offer and your thoughts on a desirable researcher, and leave the courts out of it. Mucky stuff, the law.

Some suggestions...

1. Under "Subject", try posting "WELL-STOCKED BAR AND FRIDGE". It'll attract researchers, trust me.

2. List your qualifications, likes, pet peeves, allergies, idiosyncracies (socially acceptable or not). The best matches between researchers and caregivers happen naturally, without false pretenses, so be honest. If sandwich eating is your passion, but sandwich making is not, state this. I'm sure there are a more than a few researchers who aspire to the artistic manufacturing of sandwiches, ala Arthur Dent.

3. For screening purposes, why not test your applicants with a multiple test personality quiz? Or if "stream of conciousness" writing is more your bag, a 10 million word essay. Possible themes: "Brevity", "Efficiency", or "Post-modern tiddlywinks in a neoclastic society: A love story".

4. Floss.

Best of luck,
