Hi! I would like to apply to a postdoc position, but one of the requirements is to detail at least a 2-page research plan on a certain topic. I haven't worked on that topic specifically before, so, I would need to research it. However, this may take sometime to know exactly what to do, and I have a limited time to apply. In my last postdoc position I learned about the topic and formulated the research plan within the first couple of months of my contract. I don't know if I should apply or not, and how to formulate my research plan without direct knowledge about what is being done in this topic in a short time. I once applied to a position that required the same, and I only provided my research experience and explained that I have the necessary experience and background to tackle the new topic, but my evaluation was that "I am not qualified"! Thanks in advance
