Cambridge University are actively recruiting a Professor of LEGO according to the Telegraph.

Now, before you all cause a stampede and apply, you should know that the job is not all about sitting around playing with LEGO all the day.

The lucky applicant will head a new research centre that focuses on children’s relationships with play in education, development and learning.

They will also be expected to investigate how unrestricted play can help improve a child’s experience of education.

In short, they can play with LEGO all day, every day, as long as there’s some research value. A nod is as good as a wink etc.

I’m applying and just telling them that “I’m still Eric from the block.”
