Ageism in academic jobs in India

Posted by Jack Leeming | Categories: #ScientistOnTheMove, Academia, Blog, Career paths, Diversity, Mobility, Research

A Nature special issue in 2015 explored some of the unique opportunities - and the unique problems - of working as a scientist in India

India has recently been portrayed as a land of abundant opportunity in academia, investing seriously in research and development to attract skilled scientists. The government has introduced several attractive funding opportunities, with the aim of bringing back scientists working abroad to establish a long-term career here, and improving the overall research infrastructure. Wellcome Trust/DBT India Alliance (WT/DBT) fellowships, for example, have no age or nationality restrictions, relying on qualifications, research experience, career trajectory and the candidate’s determination to establish their own independent research.  Read more

What I learnt from researching in Germany

Posted by Jack Leeming | Categories: Academia, Blog, Career paths, Chemistry, Mobility, PhD, Postdoc, Postgraduate, Research, Scientists on the move

What I learnt from researching in Germany

I’ve always been fascinated with medical research, which brought me from Ahmedabad, India, to Frankfurt (via Aachen, Düsseldorf and Göttingen) to pursue a Masters and a PhD in neuroscience. Germany boasts an excellent research ecosystem across the private and public sectors, with strong collaboration between each. Consequently, there are attractive career opportunities for local and international researchers, especially in a world where two of the west’s other major research hubs – the UK and the US – appear to be trending against science, evidence, and intellectualism. Having spent seven years here, this is what you need to know about research in Germany.  Read more
