I have recently accepted the position of “Postdoctoral Researcher in AI” at a University in the UK and I will be working on a project funded by Innovate UK. It is a fixed term 9 months contract starting from end of this month till April 2025.
Now my question is, does this position makes me eligible to apply for Global Talent Visa? As per the Global Talent Visa Information page on the UK Government, I am eligible to apply for it because I am in an academic research position.
Can someone please clarify? If I am eligible, what is the process like and I do I proceed with it. Thank you.
My profile is,
- MSc Artificial Intelligence
- Haven’t done any publications yet but 3 publications are in pipeline to be published in next couple of months.
- Have IT experience of 5 years.
