Funded by the UK Department of Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT), and awarded by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), the £54 million Global Talent Fund has been designed to enable research universities to rapidly recruit and embed teams of international researchers by covering both their relocation and research costs.
The University of Bath is delighted to be one of only 12 UK research-focused higher-education institutions to be awarded a £4.35 million share of the fund. Grants start in the 2025/26 academic year and will run for five years.
With this funding, we plan to recruit up to 15 ambitious, international researchers in four research areas that align with some of our key research strengths and ambitions:
Clean-energy industries
Digital and technologies
Life sciences
Professional and business services
This is an exciting opportunity to excel in our research community and become an integral part of our commitment to creating Research with Impact and Innovation with Impact.
