How does the lockdown affect the application and admission processes in the Western Europe, Scandinavia, and the US? I am about to submit my PhD thesis and thus my studentship will terminate. Along with my studentship, naturally, my scholarship and my stipend also will be gone.
I have some savings, but I doubt I can manage more than 3-4 months.
I need to apply to postdoc positions, and unless it is a low profile university, I cannot find any positions in the country I finish my doctoral studies, and even neighboring countries. It is kind of a unwritten policy in the Central Europe.
My viable options are western Europe, Scandinavia, and the US.
How are the application and admission processes in those places? Will new positions be available in a short time? If so, will foreign applicants be able to travel there?
Comments based on experiences are highly appreciated!
The main problem for you now is not COVID-19 but simply the summer holidays. If you are looking now, you won't find much. The number of job offers may increase again in September, October.
