Researcher mobility in a post-Brexit world

Posted by Jack Leeming | Categories: Academia, Blog, Career paths, Diversity, Europe, In the news, Mobility, news, Scientists on the move, UK

Researcher mobility in a post-Brexit world

Whether you’re relocating around the block, across town, or to a completely new city, moving is not a trivial task. For many PhD students and early career researchers, moving to a new research group can play a key role in professional development. It’s a way to gain new perspectives for your research, expand your professional network, and to work in a prestigious or well-known group in your field. Sometimes the best move for your career isn’t just across towns or cities, but is one that involves moving away from your home country, either temporarily or permanently.  Read more

Tracking down the holy grail of academia

Having been awarded a faculty position at the University of Colorado, newly minted assistant professor Kate Smith is preparing to move from to the US from the UK. Here, she describes her experience of tenure interviews, how to maintain a passion for research and, crucially, how to find the elusive off-switch from science.  Read more

New hope for EU researchers?

Posted by Karen Kaplan | Categories: Academia, Career paths, Europe, Funding, In the news, Mobility, Postgraduate, Publishing, Research, Scientists on the move, Uncategorized

New hope for EU researchers?

Yet they are stymied and discouraged by too little funding, too few positions and so much competition. Does it have to be like this?  Read more

Return to Nerd Heaven: Lindau

Posted by Jack Leeming | Categories: Academia, Blog, Career paths, Europe, news, Research, Technology

Return to Nerd Heaven: Lindau

In 2012, I flew across the pond from the deserts of Arizona to the shores of Lake Constance on the German/Austrian/Swiss border. I wasn’t on holiday per se, but I might as well have been. When I arrived in the tiny hamlet of Lindau, Germany, I was met with two very sweet offerings: spaghetti ice cream and hundreds of nerds swarming the island town. I couldn’t have been happier.  Read more
