There's a job application (UK based) which says something about having to have around 2 or 3 years research experience, but not necessarily have obtained a PhD.

What if I have a PhD and 2.5 years research experience postdoc? Does the PhD also count towards the "research years" ? I increasingly view a PhD as "training" rather than actual proper research"research"...

EDIT

Of course there is a research element to any PhD, but the emphasis is on training to become an effective researcher.
