There was one position saying that because they believe in equality they give a priority to female applicants and ethnic minorities. I'm not a woman and I'm not an ethnic minority. So in the name of equality I just don't stand a chance?

Even worse, another position was asking for my religion, my gender, my social gender and my sexual orientation. I know these are useful for some places so as to say "look we've got a gay guy here we love everybody" and things like that. BUT it's really nobody's business but mine what I like.

I'm the field of biology/biomedical research. And then it comes to what they ask. PCR (conventional, qPCR, RT-PCR) is not enough. ELISA is also not enough. Cell culture is not enough. Some basic statistics..nope they want more. Teaching experience.. well they don't care. I'm not specialized in anything else. I can make my own primers, find mutations etc but I'm not experienced with sequencing. I'm not experienced with bioinformatics and flow cytometry and lab animals. So I wonder.. does every post doc know all these? Because I don't and nobody seems to care to help you train. They ask for in depth of knowledge of many complicated techniques but they pay is so low.

I just feel bad for myself because I'm a physician and apart from the clinical part I only know PCR, ELISA, cell cultures and toxicity assays and I think I'm not a good applicant for these post docs (In my former post doc I was collecting and analyzing samples with these techniques).

EDIT (I'm adding some additional info)

I'm a physician with a MSc in Biology and a PhD in cancer biology and I've worked for 3.5 years as a post doc researcher. I always liked research and didn't start a residency because I was imagining myself to have a research career. It just feels that that's how far it gets though. One year contracts with not adequate salary is becoming hard to manage.
