One of the benefits of being a UK Global Talent (research and academia) is the flexibility to work for multiple employers (in your endorsed field) with no new sponsorship required and with no restriction on hours.
Personally, in recent months, I have found myself working across 3 universities carrying out interdisciplinary research👇
1. Research Associate at Manchester Metropolitan University, contributing to a portfolio of projects exploring collective governance, systems transformation, equitable partnering and sustainable change.
2. Research Assistant at the University of Hull under the Yorkshire Policy Innovation Partnership (YPIP) project. The YPIP is a multi-university, cross-sectoral collaborative project funded by UK research councils (UKRI & ESRC) under the Local Policy Innovation Partnership (LPIP) Hub.
3. Co-Investigator at Sheffield Hallam University on the Sheffield & Rotherham Wildlife Trust/Wildscapes research project to develop a climate change risk assessment methodology and prototype tool for integration into Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) evaluations.
