The US-UK Fulbright Commission is a not-for-profit organisation funded by both governments to promote educational exchange between the US and the UK. The Commission offers prestigious Fulbright awards for postgraduate study and academic research in the US and the UK, as well as a number of other programmes and services for people interested in studying in the US.
Since the UK programme began over 70 years ago, more than 27,000 people have been given a Fulbright award through the Commission, and today the programme continues to foster mutual understanding and people-to-people connections. The Commission's strategic priorities are widening participation in all programming and contributing to the solution of global challenges of our time - from racial injustice and climate change to pandemics and the growing role of AI.
The US-UK Fulbright Commission offers exceptional opportunities for people interested in international education and who are committed to our mission and vision . New staff join a small and friendly team who are highly motivated and passionate about cross-cultural exchange. Our staff benefits include 23 days annual leave (in addition to bank holidays and other days the office is closed), contributory pension scheme and staff discount scheme.
