FCO Fellowship - Ali Ansari: The Politics of British-Iranian Relations in historical context

这一呼吁仅限于FCO，旨在满足外交服务的独特需求，这与国内公务员的许多部分不同。英国外交部要求安全审查、最高级别的裁量权和保密性，以及灵活的、针对特定主题的建议。英国外交部对外国、国际机构和全球政策挑战方面的专家知识有着几乎无限的需求。这一呼吁将为每一批被借调到英国外交部的研究员提供机会，与政策制定者一起工作、提供建议并影响他们。研究员将带来新鲜的思维、深度和广度的专业知识，并将他们的学习应用于政策挑战。这不是呼吁支持有关英国外交部的研究项目。它将在英国外交部和整个英国研究基地建立新的能力。研究员将向来自RA干部（或军备控制与裁军部门）或FCO的通才机构的直属经理报告。高级通才（主任、大使、各部门主管、副主管）和高级研究分析员将提供额外的支持和指导。工作规划，就像长期研究分析师一样，将是需求和基于不断变化的外交部需求的自我任务的混合体。指示性的任务清单包括：撰写论文和简短的笔记，为高级官员和部长口头简报，会见外部和跨白厅合作伙伴，海外研究访问以及组织和运营大师班。个别研究员将获得：a)对外国政策制定和政府工作有深刻、广泛和实际的了解，这将为他们在其职业生涯中的研究、研究监督和教学提供基础；b)在整个政府和国际上建立可信赖的联系网络，使他们能够在其整个职业生涯中汲取资源；c)职业发展机会。

This call is limited to the FCO and designed to meet the distinct needs of the Diplomatic Service, which differ from many parts of the Home Civil Service. The FCO requires security vetting, the highest levels of discretion and confidentiality and agile, subject-specific advice. The FCO has an almost limitless demand for expert specialist knowledge of foreign countries, international institutions and global policy challenges.This call will provide the opportunity for each intake of fellows to be seconded into the FCO to work alongside, advise and influence policymakers. Fellows will bring fresh thinking, depth and breadth of expert knowledge and apply their learning to policy challenges. This is not a call to support research projects about the FCO. It will build new capacity in the FCO and across the UK research base.Fellows will report to a line manager either from the RA Cadre (or Arms Control & Disarmament Unit) or the generalist body of the FCO. Additional support and mentoring will be provided by both senior Generalists (Directors; Ambassadors; Heads of Department; Deputy Heads) and by senior Research Analysts. Work-planning, as for permanent Research Analysts, will be a mixture of demand and self-tasking based on evolving FCO needs. An indicative list of tasks include: writing papers and shorter notes, oral briefings for senior officials and ministers, meeting external and cross-Whitehall partners, research visits overseas as well as organising and running masterclasses.The individual fellows will acquire:a) A deep, broad and practical understanding of foreign policy-making and Government work which will underpin their own research, research supervision and teaching over their careers;b) Networks of trusted connections across Government and internationally on which they can draw throughout their career;c) Opportunities for career development.
