I can't speak to UMich specifically, but graduate research is long hours and crap pay, and the university gets to sell the results.

The pay is crappy because they're hiring foreign workers

Almost all of the foreign-born students I went to grad school with 15 years ago still work and live in the US.

Why do you assume they will leave?

Check the bios of this project's advisors.

What am I looking for?

US trained advisors working over seas
