Feb 10, 2022 at 17:45 comment added Anonymous Physicist @WolfgangBangerth The search can come from a different budget than the salary. And as I mentioned before, the applicants are often otherwise very similar.
Feb 10, 2022 at 16:46 comment added Wolfgang Bangerth I cannot imagine that many places would consider the cost of a flight ($1500) an important consideration in hiring someone who you will pay $100+k including fringe benefits for the next 30 years.
Feb 8, 2022 at 21:16 comment added Anonymous Physicist @ZeroTheHero Yes, and this answer is about average US universities. It certainly does not apply to the wealthiest 1%. The cost of a flight is a deciding factor when you have many similar applicants.
Feb 8, 2022 at 20:15 comment added ZeroTheHero I doubt top tier US universities are deterred by the cost of an international flight, but I do suspect as you suggest that immigration issues (especially these days) might be a significant filter in both direction: never mind universities not being so keen to step into this web, not every European necessarily would want to work in the US academic system even if they could.
