Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

I just accepted my offer to leave my university in the US for one in Europe. My mathematician of a wife is going to start working for one there too.
When I told my US colleagues they uniformly said how lucky I am and that they're thinking about going too. Our University faculty and staff are looking to leave and we have the ability to do so. Brain drain is real and the US is about to see it first hand.
I'm waiting for my visa stuff to go through, but I'm also in the process of leaving the US
Do you have any advice for someone that only knows English for selecting a good place in the EU?
I'm no expert in immigration nor work opportunities. I focused on universities that teach undergraduate programs in English (many do graduate levels in English) so they'd be more open to my application.
I made a very long list of universities with programs and research in my topic and found their jobs pages. I then would check them all every so often for positions. When there's was a good opening I dropped everything and applied.
If you only know English then it's more about what you bring to the economy where you're applying to. Will you find a job? Pay taxes? Pay your rent? Mostly, the question is whether you'll be a burden on the state or not.
Good places would be Ireland (English speaking), then it would have been Scotland and England. After that... Germany is interested in brining in workers to fill open roles if they will learn to fit in and pay taxes. After that it'll be tougher, but doable. Get a contract offer for a job and you'll be in much better shape. I did interviews at all hours, skipped work to travel for interviews, and networked. I wrote lots of cover letters on what I want and why.
It is possible to make the move. Your interest in where you apply and your skills you bring are the key factors (unless you're independently wealthy).
There's even some companies that help people find jobs and get through immigration. I talked with one called Bonus Relocation in Spain that worked all over Europe and they will help you from the earliest stages of seeking a job to renting an apartment after you move. Great people.
Thanks for the lengthy reply, I appreciate it.
And this, while we are right at a critical juncture when it comes to things like AI.
