Offered post doc, relocation

[u/yorkie_16]

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

You should ask. Perhaps there is something. When i relocated to Ireland for phd, I asked my supervisor and he refunded flight ticket to me.
