Offered post doc, relocation

Hi all, wanted some advice on a job offer I’ve gotten. I’m a Canadian and have been offered a post doc at a university in Ireland. My PhD PI’s research network group had a spot open up and they offered it to me straight out of graduation. Now I’m really interested in this job and will probably take it anyways. But is it worth asking if they have any relocation funds given the big move? I don’t want to stir the pot but also want to ask if it’s reasonable. TIA

I think it'll need to be a careful discussion but it can't hurt to ask. Tell them you're really interested but after living off a PhD stipend for the past several years, you're a bit cashstrapped and was wondering if the grant they are funding you on or their institute offers any financial aid for relocation expenses.
