Post Body

I have a couple of postdoc opportunities in Europe and the UK. While the research prospect seems interesting, the pay is low compared to what a postdoc in the US would make. The inflation index contrast between the US and Europe also is not giving me a lot of hope because I will have to start repaying my student loans when I start my postdoc. I am curious how the experience has been for Americans doing their postdoc in the UK/Europe (Spain in particular).

Edit: The salaries I am being offered in Spain and UK are around 31.5k and 29k in the local currency respectively post tax.
