To discover more about the Dept’s research interests and to identify a potential mentor:

https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/arts/classics/research/ Please first contact a potential mentor in the Dept and then send the following to Prof. Alison Cooley, Director of Research (a.cooley@warwick.ac.uk) by the end of July 2023:

· 2-page outline of proposed project, highlighting how your proposed research goes beyond the ‘state-of-the-art’ and how it will have an interdisciplinary methodology

This scheme is extremely competitive: the Dept will select the strongest and most suitable applicants for support, but regrets that it will be unable to support every applicant. Please be aware that one of the most critical aspects of the application is to work closely with your dept mentor to create a career development plan as an integral part of your research proposal, so please allow plenty of time for collaboration in putting the application together.
