I did try. I even applied to second tier Universities in Asia. It&#x27;s really not that easy. It&#x27;s a very very competitive market. When you graduate you&#x27;re broke and you don&#x27;t have a lot of money so you can&#x27;t wait around. As well, universities take a percentage of your grant money so they prefer to hire researchers that require expensive equipment. Finally to get a faculty position, even at a third tier university, you&#x27;re going to have to have a sponsor on the faculty. The more novel your research is, the less likely you&#x27;re going to find someone who sees you as a collaborator.
