This clue might be a double definition.

'unqualified' is the first definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?

'position' is the second definition.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lay that I've seen before include "Non-professional - ballad" , "Secular; set" , "Arrange" , "located" , "Stake (a bet); song" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sunday Times.
