Hey Europe and Canada, anyone still looking for a scientist that just wants to do lab work? I prefer chemistry, but am happy with micro too. Just let me interpret data, please. I'm stuck somewhere where titrations are the most complex process.
German universities are always hiring. Always. And in my experience they need just about everyone
If you have an Irish grandparent you can get a passport. Lots of work here and Americans are welcome.
Otherwise work visas that turn into residency aren't difficult to come by with sponsorship and it's not the kind of sponsorship that makes you a slave.
How about a great grandparent. My grandma was born in NYC but great grandad came from Ireland into Ellis island.
Mmmm. I'm not sure tbh but I don't think so. If your grandmother had an Irish passport though that might work. Worth checking if you're considering it.
My sister lives in the UK a long time now and all her kids have an Irish passport. It's actually a great passport to have for travel. EU is obviously wide open but most places accept it without much (or zero) effort.
The pharma industry is currently booming in Denmark (Novo and others are expanding like crazy), so perhaps you could try and look into that
In my faculty, there's often vacants for lab technicians, if you want to give it a go
