I am doing a PhD in Germany, and I just was told that it is very difficult to get a post doc at the university I am working in. All my plans were based on this. I am about to complete my PhD, and I don t know what to do. My funding ends in a few months, and there is no way I can earn money.
Moreover, my residence permit depends on continued funding.
Please please give me some advice.
What can I do?
Can I apply for another PhD in Canada? My intention is to immigrate. There are no jobs for academics in the country that I come from, and I was hoping to stay on in Germany. Once I get the citizenship here, I will be able to apply throughout Europe.
Can I apply for post docs in Canada or the United States?
I just don't know what to do. Please help! My Phd is in the social sciences.
