Other Possible Side-effects of Brexit for non-British scientists

AI Thread Summary
The discussion highlights the uncertainty surrounding the impact of Brexit on foreign scientists seeking employment in UK universities and companies. Key concerns include the lack of a clear plan for visa requirements for former EU nationals, which complicates hiring processes in academia where collaboration is essential. The need for work visas, as opposed to tourist visas, poses significant challenges for staffing and funding of research projects. While some universities have communicated optimism about the Global Talent Visa, there remains widespread confusion and a lack of concrete information on how the selection process for jobs might change post-Brexit.

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.
