Hi, your English is pretty fine :) For us foreigners it is better to use the language than hide behind others, support you! I also suffered a lot writing my papers and thesis, however, now my boss always wonders if I have had native speakers corrected my writings before giving to him for corrections $汗$ hehe... learning by doing, not only language, actually. Afterall, it gains.
In my case, the professor who invited me for postdoc will support me for Habilitation. This is quite a good chance also, not necessarily promissing in the U.S., since the big shots already usually had their own circles anyway, we 'little ones' don't count anything to them, just cheap workers struggling for the future. Of course it is still very attractive!
Another negative point is the U.S. visa... Chinese are often locked up there not daring going home or to foreign conferences, which is definitely drawing us back from private and academic lifes.
That is why I'm hesitating...
About German Perminant Residence, or even nationality, I consider it at least a promising freedom to go home or join conferences, or any later professional possibilities. Also for us not so young already, it seems like important to plan for the retirement from now on...
Actually I'm thinking of starting the Habilitation, then still can apply for personal grant (anyway better for Habilitation also) to go to the U.S. for a couple of years. There're Germans around doing that, successful. Teaching in Germany sometimes can be in English, specially now the language of science is English at all, but it still has to be checked out. Teaching I do anyway when doing my PhD, in English, welcomed by students. Certainly I'm waiting for the prof. to confirm it still...
Wish you also good luck! |
