FCO Fellowship - David Lewis

这一呼吁仅限于英国外交部，旨在满足外交部门的不同需求，而外交部门与国内公务员制度的许多部门不同。FCO要求进行安全审查，最高级别的自由裁量权和保密性，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的专家专业知识的需求几乎是无限的。这一呼吁将为每一位被借调到英国外交部的研究员提供机会，与他们一起工作，向政策制定者提供建议和影响。研究员将带来新的思维、深度和广度的专业知识，并将他们的知识应用于政策挑战。这并不是为了支持有关英国外交部的研究项目。它将在FCO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FCO的多面手机构的直线经理汇报工作。高级多面手(主任、大使、部门负责人、副主任)和高级研究分析员将提供额外的支助和指导。对于永久研究分析师来说，工作规划将是需求和基于不断变化的FCO需求的自我任务的混合体。任务清单包括：撰写论文和简短的讲稿、为高级官员和部长举行口头简报、会见外部和白厅伙伴、海外研究访问以及组织和开办大师班。个别研究员将获得：a)对外交决策和政府工作有深入、广泛和实际的了解，这将为他们的职业生涯奠定研究、研究监督和教学的基础；b)在政府和国际上建立可供他们在职业生涯中利用的值得信赖的人脉网络；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 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.
