"RunWithElevatedPrivileges" in SharePoint Timer Jobs?

Can we use SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges in SharePoint timer jobs?

Under whose identity will the timer job run under elevated privileges?

Anyone who wants to and should know the facts regarding this will also be appreciated.

RunWithElevatedPrivileges only works if the current thread uses impersonation, that is, IIS. Used in other code (timer jobs, console applications, workflow, etc.). This will have no effect.
