Three emails today from PIs in three different European countries, with (multiple) postdoc vacancies asking if I know any good candidates. All great labs. Seems like everyone is struggling with #recruitment.
@steveroyle yep! Not just post-docs, I've been trying to recruit a master student, with no luck. It's the first time I have funding and can't recruit, and it seems recent. 3 years ago I had plenty of applicants.
@JoseEdGomes oh that's frustrating. Hope you find someone soon.
@steveroyle and in Germany PostDocs that are still willing to endure the prevailing conditions in academia are forced by law to leave 6 years after their Ph.D. #findthemistake 🤷🏼‍♂️
@HD_sci
It's ridiculous. We're looking for people with some software engineering experience, and finding someone who wants e13 instead of 3x that in industry is painful.
