china, now usa.

Hi,
I'm from Corsica, France.

Shanghai, P.R.China!

Born and bred in the UK, did PhD at Oxford University.

Now living in The Netherlands.... have been trying to find a post-doc for the past 2 years... situation here is VERY BAD.

Have been being exploited by the Dutch, who will not give me a break, despite 10 months of unpaid post-doc (hoping it would lead to a paid post - promises of money never fulfilled). Job was great experience and better than sitting around being unemployed but involved 4 hours commute a day - all became too much needed some form of pay.

and after a two month break

3 months of unpaid post-doc - closer to home (10 minutes), in the local University which has a "job-stop" (they are not hiring externally). Volunteered on the advice of a retired prof, again hoping it would stand me in good stead to be an insider for a paid job - seems that it may not though - recently a post came up but it looks like they won't consider me as an insider - grrrr.
