Then: Postdoc, Sattler Group, 2003-2007
Now: Group Leader, IECB, Pessac, France
There were many changes with my move to start a group in France, besides the obvious switch from beer to wine. The spirit of the host institute was important: like EMBL, the IECB is an incubator for young group leaders, with a maximum length of stay and an international scientific advisory board. I've since also discovered that inclusion in one of the French national research agencies, such as CNRS or INSERM, facilitates collaboration and is required for most sources of national funding.
A recent change to accept applications and interviews in English has already made an important step towards welcoming an international contribution to the strong science community already in France.
