SUMMARY

Brexit has significantly impacted the employment landscape for non-British scientists seeking positions in UK universities and companies. The transition has introduced complexities regarding visa requirements, as many foreign scientists will now need to navigate a new visa application process, specifically the Global Talent Visa. Universities are currently unprepared for these changes, leading to uncertainty in staffing and project budgets. The lack of clear guidelines from UK institutions exacerbates the challenges faced by foreign applicants.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of UK immigration policies post-Brexit
  • Familiarity with the Global Talent Visa application process
  • Knowledge of the academic job market in the UK
  • Awareness of international collaboration in scientific research
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the Global Talent Visa requirements and application procedures
  • Explore the implications of Brexit on international scientific collaboration
  • Investigate the current job market trends for scientists in the UK
  • Review case studies of foreign scientists successfully navigating post-Brexit employment
USEFUL FOR

Foreign scientists, academic recruiters, university administrators, and anyone involved in international scientific research and employment in the UK.

Hi.

UK has officially left the EU.

I was wondering what kind of difficulties you think a foreigner scientist could face now while applying for jobs at UK universities or UK companies.

Does Brexit modify the selecton process or everything stays the same?

Thank you.

Fact is: nobody knows!

As of today, we don't have any plan how to deal with former EU foreigners. At universities it's even worse, because science means cooperation, which affects staffing as well as budgeting of countless projects. All of a sudden hundreds if not thousands of people will need a visa, and a tourist visa won't do. Universities don't have that information either - no one does.
