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.
