This is a much better university, but the role is really team orientated and it's an open plan office. I am not a social person. I was good at my previous role, this feels really uncomfortable (and not just in a getting settled kind of way).

Ugh, I'm sorry your new job seems like a bad fit. I've worked in my share of open-plan offices (including newsrooms) and cube farms and definitely prefer having my own office with a door. Is there a way to avoid spending too much time in the actual office?

I hope it gets better in some way.
