Advice on opportunities in UK after postdoc
S

Hi,

I've an offer for a postdoctoral position from a top UK university to work on graphene and other 2D electronic materials. I'm from India but did my PhD with research in materials science very recently from US and still in US looking for jobs (no success). Though I'm very interested in taking up the offer but I'm concerned about future opportunities to work in UK. My question is how hard is it for an international researcher with a PhD to get a job in UK after postdoc? Are companies willing to sponsor highly qualified workers? I do have another postdoc offer from a good university in US to work on a less interesting (for me) project on polymers. It would be of great help and highly appreciated if I could get some suggestions as I've to make my decision soon which will decide my future. Thank you.
