I used to work at a place where we offered Ph.D. scholarships in the UK for UK nationals doing Compsci. We had lots and lots of problems getting anyone to accept. Now these were not high paid positions, but they offered a basic income and a full ride in terms of fees, and opportunities for teaching on top. No one wanted to do it - they could all get more money going contracting. Non UK students were keen, but unfortunately because of the grant conditions were inelligable.
- arethuza 6y agoI did 6 years as a Research Associate (contract researcher) in a UK university in the late 1980s and 1990s. For some part of that time the UK was in recession and it was actually kind of neat having a 3 year contract with guaranteed employment. Mind you - I knew other people who had terrible problems with contract renewals, getting mortgages etc. Fortunately, I never had those problems but I'm pretty sure that was sheer luck.
