'GENEVA, April 11 (
Reuters) - David Die Dejean is passionate about studying
tuna. Last year, he landed a dream job at National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration in Miami to pursue his research. By January, he was settled in,
had received a good review and loved working with his colleagues, he said.
Then in mid-February he received an email to vacate the premises within 90
minutes.
He and hundreds of others had been dismissed in job cuts targeting probationary
workers as U.S. President Donald Trump's new administration began slashing
funding for universities and research bodies.
Now Die Dejean is applying for positions in Europe.
"I want to work wherever they allow me to do the research," said the scientist,
who studies fish stocks to ensure tuna is being fished sustainably.
"I'm eagerly waiting for some of the things that are coming from the European
Union...increasing the opportunities for scientists like me to come back," said
Die Dejean, who was born in Spain but has spent most of his career in the U.S.
and Australia.'
