I just got my PhD last month. So far, I've been applying to postdoctoral fellowship, research fellowship and lectureship. I have e-mailed almost every expert in my field but none of them could offer me postdoc jobs because of lack of funding. I also have applied for lectureship but it's very competitive and limited. I browsed nature jobs/jobs overseas and there are tons of phd jobs in overseas. I am thinking to migrate and get job overseas. Or I should just stick to my current job with degree pay scale.
No wonder Malaysia is facing brain drain. Even PhD scholars cannot get job easily.
First of all, congratulations in getting your phD No wonder Malaysia is facing brain drain. Even PhD scholars cannot get job easily.
The lack of funding is certainly a 'shadow' of past governance , it may take some time before the condition improves.
As for job positions, sometimes having the right connection helps- it would be easier to get into a particular university with recommendations from someone with authority. Having friends in the universities will also help as they can tell you whether there are any job openings.
There is nothing wrong with working overseas so long as you are prepared for it. However my advice is to check the background of the university/company/research institute/country that you will be working in make sure that you are comfortable with their lifestyle, ethics etc.
