Question Opportunities for researchers in aviation.

I've finally got to the point where I can't stay at university any longer, and have to get out into the big wide world and earn some money. Unfortunately, my obvious career path (laboratory research) doesn't hold much appeal any more, so I'm thinking of using my research skills in a more aviation-related way. But I have no idea what kind of opportunities are out there for someone with (hopefully) a PhD in an unrelated area, and a PPL. Which is where you all come in!

Ideally I'd like to stick to research, but related to aviation. Less peering at petri dishes, and more meeting real people. The obvious jobs seem to require psychology or engineering degrees. So I need something which will take my other PhD skills into account (multitasking, self-motivation, time management, etc). I would also like to keep writing in some form: reports, articles, papers or whatever.

Any suggestions gratefully received!
