Applying for postdoc position in UK - Physics I am currently doing my PhD in Cosmology in Germany.
I would like to apply for a postdoc position in UK. Targeted destinations would be Cambridge, Oxford and Imperial College.
Do I have realistic possibilities of finding a position there, even though I have not studied for my PhD in the UK? I have the impression that in UK they tend to hire people coming from the UK.
Well I am studying for a PhD at Cambridge and most of the post-docs that I have met are not from the UK. I personally know at least 3 post-docs from Germany and a large proportion (24%) of the graduate students are from Europe (39% are non-UK/Europe). So from my experience Cambridge doesn't seem to preferentially hire UK post-docs.
