Once you and your faculty sponsor decide to work together, and you are extended an unofficial offer, you will be contacted by the department’s human resource partner to start the official application and appointment process. If you are not a U.S. citizen or permanent resident, please visit the UC Berkeley International Office website for guidance on obtaining a visa. Please note that visiting scholar and visiting student researcher appointments require payment of the University Services Fee (USF).
We recommend that you proactively review VSPA Housing and Relocation resources and the VSPA Getting Started Checklist to better understand and prepare for the next steps in the onboarding process.
