]]> Work in the UK as a researcher or academic leader (Global Talent visa) https://opportunitiesforyouth.org/2024/07/24/work-in-the-uk-as-a-researcher-or-academic-leader-global-talent-visa/ Wed, 24 Jul 2024 16:08:37 +0000 https://opportunitiesforyouth.org/?p=40509

Overview

With a Global Talent visa you can work in the UK in academia or research, if you are a leader or potential leader in one of the following fields:

  • science
  • medicine
  • engineering
  • humanities
  • social science

You can also work in the UK on a Global Talent visa if you’ve won an eligible award.

What you can do with a Global Talent visa

With a Global Talent visa you can:

There are no language or minimum salary eligibility requirements.

If you want to stay longer in the UK, you can:

  • renew your visa as many times as you like if you meet the eligibility criteria for extending your stay
  • apply to settle permanently in the UK (also known as ‘indefinite leave to remain’) if you’ve lived in the UK for 3 years and meet the other eligibility requirements – any time you spend outside the UK doing research counts towards this time

You cannot:

  • apply for most benefits (‘public funds’), or the State Pension
  • work as a sportsperson

If your application is successful, you’ll get a full list of what you can and cannot do with a Global Talent visa.

Eligibility

You may be eligible if you have any of the following:

  • an eligible job offer as an academic or researcher
  • an individual fellowship
  • a research grant that is approved by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI)
  • an eligible award

If you do not, you can apply by having your application peer reviewed, but your application will take longer.

If you’re not eligible for a Global Talent visa, there are other ways to work in the UK – for example a skilled work visa.

How to apply

To get a Global Talent visa you need to apply for an ‘endorsement’, as well as for the visa itself.

You do not need to apply for an endorsement if you’ve won an eligible award. You can apply for the visa straight away.

Applying for an endorsement

You need to apply for an endorsement to prove you are a leader or potential leader in your field.

The Home Office will send your application to be reviewed by a UK organisation (‘endorsing body’) with expertise in your field.

How you apply depends on whether you:

You’ll usually get a decision about your endorsement within:

  • 2 weeks, if you have an eligible academic or research job, individual fellowship or research grant – this is called ‘fast track’ endorsement
  • 5 weeks, if you’re having your application peer reviewed

Applying for the visa

There’s a separate guide to applying for your Global Talent visa, including how your partner or child can apply.

You usually get a decision about your visa within:

  • 3 weeks if you’re outside the UK
  • 8 weeks if you’re inside the UK

You may be able to pay to get a faster decision.

When you can apply for the visa

You can apply for the Global Talent visa at the same time as you apply for endorsement, or after you have the endorsement confirmed.

If your permission to stay in the UK is about to expire, applying for the visa will extend it until you’ve been given a decision.

The earliest you can apply for a visa is 3 months before you travel.

Example

You can apply from 16 March if you plan to travel on 15 June.

Fees

It costs £716 to apply.

If you’re applying based on an endorsement, you’ll pay the £716 in two parts:

  • £524 when you apply for the endorsement
  • £192 when you apply for the visa itself

If you’re applying based on an eligible award, you’ll pay the full £716 when you apply for the visa.

If you’re including your partner or children in your application, they’ll each need to pay £716.

Healthcare surcharge

You’ll also have to pay the healthcare surcharge as part of your application – this is usually £1,035 per year for each person applying.

Check how much you’ll have to pay before you apply.

If your endorsement application is refused

If your application is turned down you can request an endorsement review.

The Centre for Research in the Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities (CRASSH) at the University of Cambridge welcomes applications for the British Academy Postdoctoral Fellowship scheme.

The British Academy Postdoctoral Fellowship is a three-year fellowship for outstanding early career researchers in the humanities and social sciences. The scheme aims to help develop the award holder’s curriculum vitae and boost their prospects of obtaining a permanent university post. The primary emphasis is on the completion of a significant piece of publishable research, and the integration of the award-holder into the community of established scholars within their field.

Eligibility

  • Applicants must be either a UK/EEA national or have completed a doctorate at a UK university. Alternatively, applicants may be accepted if they can demonstrate a ‘strong prior association’ with the UK academic community. If you are unsure about your eligibility, please check the scheme notes carefully.
  • Applicants must be within three years of the award of a doctorate (i.e. with a viva between 1 April 2022 and 1 April 2025). Exemptions from this criterion may be granted for extenuating circumstances.
  • Those with a permanent academic post are ineligible to apply.
  • Applicants may apply only once in the three years they are eligible. Previously unsuccessful applicants will be able to submit another application only if specifically invited to do so by the British Academy.

Submitting an application via CRASSH

You may apply for a British Academy Postdoctoral Fellowship via CRASSH if your project is strongly interdisciplinary in approach, to the extent that it would not fit easily into another department, faculty, or centre in Cambridge. In your application, you will be expected to justify why Cambridge and CRASSH are the best fit for your proposal.

You should be aware that we typically receive a large number of applications at CRASSH; due to the limited amount of workspace available, we can only forward a small selection of these to the British Academy. If there is another department/faculty/centre at Cambridge that would provide a suitable home, it may be in your interests to apply to be hosted there. If you are successful in your application with another department/faculty/centre at Cambridge, you will always be welcome to take part in the full range of activities we run at CRASSH.

Applications

Applications should be sent to the Fellowships Administrator  by 12:00 noon BST on Monday 19 August 2024, in time for applications to be assessed and selected to go forward. Applications should consist of the following:

  • A two-page CV, including the dates on which you had your PhD viva and on which you were awarded the PhD.
  • A list of publications (not exceeding one side).
  • A completed internal selection form.
  • Please note that the form requires you to give the name of a proposed mentor. The British Academy’s expectation is that a mentor will help integrate new fellows into their department. A mentor for a CRASSH project would usually be a member of academic staff in Cambridge who has indicated that they would be happy to act as mentor for you for a project based at CRASSH.  A Letter of Support from the Head of Department is not required at this stage. If your application is selected to go forward, the Director of CRASSH will prepare the necessary document to accompany your application materials.
  • Please provide the names and details of two referees. One should be your PhD supervisor or another member of staff who knows you and your work well. The other should be the person who will write your reference if you are invited to submit a full application to the British Academy. The BA states: “The referee should normally be the external examiner or, if not available, someone else who is as external to the applicant as possible.”

The deadline for the full application to be submitted to the Research Office is 02 October 2024, but your application to CRASSH must reach us by 12:00 noon BST on Monday 19 August 2024.

Information Session

The School Research Facilitators will run an online information session for applicants on 25 July 2024 at 14:00. Potential applicants are encouraged to register for this event.

Please address all enquiries to fellowships@crassh.cam.ac.uk.

This programme was opened for applications until 31st January 2024 and will reopen at the end of 2024.

How do you plan to spend your summer? How does getting involved in some of the world’s biggest experiments sound? This is more than summer work. It’s the chance to join CERN in Geneva – getting involved in the day-to-day work of our multicultural teams. Attend lectures, visit CERN facilities, take part in discussions and workshops with people who are leaders in their fields. In fact, it will be a summer like nowhere else on Earth.

 

CERN OPENLAB SUMMER STUDENT PROGRAMME

This programme was opened for applications until 31st January 2024 and will reopen at the end of 2024.

Summer work experience in a place like nowhere else on earth: the birthplace of the world wide web! If you’re studying computer science, a great way to spend your summer could be to join the openlab summer student program, to work on an advanced IT project and follow IT lectures specially prepared for you by experts at CERN and other institutes. Visits to the accelerators and experimental areas are also part of the program, along with visits to external companies. Interested? Check it out and take part!

 

SHORT-TERM INTERNSHIP PROGRAMME 

Imagine what it would be like to be part of, and contribute to, one of the largest projects on the planet. If you’re looking for a short term training (1 to 6 months), how cool would it be to say you’re working in CERN?
