First you will need to stop having uranium for breakfast, then we may let you in.
Get this person a job in Ireland ๐ฎ๐ช
One of several countries Iโm pursuing.
Itโs certainly not easy.
Try the Fraunhofer in Germany.
I will check it out! Any other advice? My family needs out.
I appreciate you.
US ex pat (during Biden's term) in the EU, also engineer
There's lots of jobs in English in lots of countries. A larger company has a much better chance of bringing you over. I would try applying for stuff as you see fit and go in with an open mind. It's been tough but very very rewarding for us so far.
The one thing I have gotten used to is the โWe regret to inform youโฆโ email so far. ๐
When Iโm not burning from both ends, outside of hobbies, has specifically been international job hunting.
I can be thankful that my current career has stability and is semi-immune to the nonsense due to legally binding contracts.
Very small, but good start. (Just the National Science Foundation in the US had the budget of $9BN last year, compared to โฌ2.3BN of European Research Council, so it is not even close to filling the gap).
There are benefits though, paid leave, less nazis, better healthcare, less mass shootings. Its about the whole package, not just being on the right side of history.
Yeah, totally. And there are many, many top scientists already in Europe.
The thing is that to do research, you need money. Not just your (and your staff's) salary. Experimental research requires actual, material resources. Cutting-edge equipment and reagents. If more top scientists come to Europe, but the resources for research do not increase, it is hard to imagine more top research being done.
The UE spends around 2.2/2.3% of GDP on research and development:
https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php?oldid=551418 (2021 for fair comparison) https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/products-eurostat-news/w/ddn-20221129-1
Meanwhile, in the US, it was almost 3.5% (of the larger total GDP), and in China, more than 2.4%.
I believe we have a lot of amazing research in Europe. Possibly the best fundamental research in the world, amazing sustainability and climate-related project, growing focus on open access and reproducibility from funding agencies. We all know science pays off in the long term. Let it grow!
That headline was hard to read
Makes my eyes weary
I know right why "UK, EU eye ..." instead of "UK and EU eye"
