I'm just coming to the end of my PhD in New Zealand and looking into postdoctoral work in the UK. I've heard several examples that the work-life balance of postdocs in the US is non-existent, with postdocs being expected to work ridiculous hours, weekends etc. So I was just wondering please what the work-life balance is like for the average postdoc in the UK? I realize it will depend on the research group but just wondering what the overall expectation/ethos is.
