Questions

Does a sponsor licence mean this role is sponsored?

The licence means the employer is allowed to sponsor a visa. 3 of these 336 adverts say outright that they will; for the rest, ask the employer before you apply.

What do the licence routes and the rating mean?

The routes are the visa types the employer may sponsor: Skilled Worker is the standard work visa, Senior or Specialist Worker covers transfers within a company. An A rating means the licence is in good standing; B means the Home Office asked the employer to fix how it meets its duties.

What do these science and research roles pay?

99 of the 336 roles state the pay. The middle of their posted ranges is $45k a year (converted to US dollars).

How fresh is this?

Each register is reloaded when its publisher updates it (the US and UK files weekly, Canada every quarter), and every role is re-checked on the employer's own careers board at least every 48 hours. A role that closes leaves the page at the next nightly rebuild.
