Congrats!!! By successfully navigating this insane maze you’ve now ‘proven’ that you can obtain funds. You’ll be made to jump through a series of hoops, but assuming your publication history is at all reasonable, you’re pretty much ready for going straight from grad student to PI. I highly highly suggest skipping postdoc hell if you have any chance at all, but if you can’t, just repeat whatever magic you just did and spare yourself the pain of staying there too long. Having your salary go from 36k to ~100k (without passing through the 50k mark) will feel very good.
Good luck with the meiosis project! Rooting for ya!
