So you're taking a course -- not offering a course -- and that has ramifications for your grant funding. Interesting arrangement. Maybe I've been out of academia for too long (or you Candidans do things differently here).
It's always good to have options. One of the challenges in academia, or at least I've found when I was in it, is that it can leave you with the impression of having limited options. The "real world" bakes in those options, but the public sector sometimes leaves you with a false sense that you aren't able to ply your trade in too many places. You'd be surprised. Should be worth investigating no matter what, even if it is extra work.
