Not sure if anybody here knows Edzard Ernst, he is probably the only real professor for complementary medicine in the world.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edzard_Ernst
He has retired recently and his applications for his job are currently accepted. The job description looks very promising: http://www.pcmd.ac.uk/jobs.php?id=502
BUT, in a recent interview Edzard Ernst answered:
The writers of that interview feel a bit worried and so do I. What do you think, will that chair be lost to skepticism? Will Peninsula Medical School choose a good candidate by themselves?
Can we encourage them somehow to choose a real scientist (of course, they might already do that, but were Edzard Ernst involved in the decision process I would feel more comfortable!)
