weird letter of rec situation

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
1) That should be fine
2) It depends. Were you taught by the prof you are doing the social science research with?
3) I guess you could, but from my understanding, post-doc letters don't carry much weight
 
2. If the letter requires a letter from a professor, it must be from a professor who taught you in a class. Most schools I've seen usually differentiate "character" letters (i.e. from PIs, bosses, volunteer coordinators) from professor letters. If your PI also was your professor, I don't see why they can't write a superb letter talking about class and out of class experiences. Then you can probably submit the letter under whichever category you need!
