FCO Fellowship - Susan Farran

这一呼吁仅限于外交和联邦事务部，旨在满足外交服务的独特需求，这些需求与国内公务员制度的许多部分不同。外交和联邦事务部要求进行安全审查，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。外交和联邦事务部对外国、国际机构和全球政策挑战方面的专家知识几乎有无限的需求。这一呼吁将为每一位被借调到外交和联邦事务部的研究员提供机会，与政策制定者一起工作，提供建议和影响。研究员会带来新的想法。专家知识的深度和广度，并将他们的学习应用于政策挑战。这不是一个呼吁支持有关外交和联邦事务部的研究项目。它将在外交和联邦事务部和整个英国研究基地建立新的能力。研究员将向来自RA干部或外交和联邦事务部通才机构的直线经理报告。高级通才（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持和指导。与长期研究分析员一样，工作规划将根据外交和联邦事务部不断变化的需要，兼顾需求和自身任务。任务包括：撰写论文和短文，为高级官员和部长做口头简报，会见外部和跨白厅的合作伙伴，海外研究访问，以及组织和举办大师班。研究员个人将获得：a）对外交政策制定和政府工作的深入，广泛和实用的理解，这将成为他们自己的研究，研究监督和教学生涯的基础; B）在整个职业生涯中可以利用的政府和国际上的可靠联系网络;

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.
