thanks TreeofLife. I planned another way of pursuing another phd in germany, as they scheduled 3-4 years of duration for phd dissertation. so i appeared in TOEFL, Subject GRE in Biochem and Cell Biology and also GATE exam in India as GATE score is also acceptable in germany instead of GRE. but now I am bit confused. should I try for another PhD in germany or should i try a post doc position in india and then try for a post-doc postion abroad. In India, the age limit to apply for assistant professor or same level job is 37 years and and for associate professor level is 42. Currently i completed 30 years in jan, 2016. and there is no opportunity to get any reference letter from PhD examiners because As i said before that My supervisor will manage them to get me a phd degree and they are all her friends. and my work is not at all satisfactory. but yes I can manage good reference letter from my MSc professors. can anyone suggest what should be my future plan ? should I go for a phD in germany or should I try to get a post doc in India. as information, my dream is to be an independent scientist, and in India, to get a scientist job someone must have some good post doc experience from abroad with some good research papers.

hi everyone , currently i am pursuing PhD in India, and i have only one supervisor for my thesis. due to conflict of interest she told me to write my thesis and submit. and not allowing me to perform any new experiments. but my personal feeling is till now whatever i have done is not sufficient and satisfactory for a PhD degree. but she will somehow manage to get me the degree. she also told me that she will not provide me any reference or recommendation letter, or if she have to write then she will write every possible bad opinion on me. and asked me to choose between not writing a reference letter or a writing a really bad one. finally i thought its better to remove her name as a referee from my curriculum vitae, as she is not going to write it anyway. i may somehow manage three reference letters from my MSc dissertation supervisor and other teachers from my MSc teachers. now will that be sufficient for any application for post doctoral position, specially without any reference letter form my PhD supervisor? i am very certain if some potential post doc supervisor call her or mail her to know about me she is going to talk really bad about me. literally she is willing to give me a PhD degree and more willing to ensure that I could not do anything after that. i dont know how to handle this crooked woman. So, is anyone can suggest me whether without her reference letter, I can mange myself a post doctoral position? I have a second author in a publication in IF 4.4 and going to have a first authorship publication in IF 2-3.
