We’re delighted to announce that the call for WIHEA Fellowship is open!

Applicants or nominees will be expected to show a record of commitment to learning and teaching, some experience of leading good practice development for instance through projects, mentoring or curriculum development by providing a statement. The statement (between 200-400 words) should provide information and examples demonstrating the nominee/applicant’s track record against a selection of required criteria. If you are making the nomination, we strongly encourage you to ask the nominee to provide you with their own statement responding to the criteria, which must refer to the relevant staff/student criteria. The selection of WIHEA Fellows remains a competitive process, and all applications will be reviewed by the WIHEA Advisory Group.

As part of the appointment process for staff, the Head of Department or Professional Service are asked to confirm whether they support a Fellowship appointment and individuals applying will need to include this in their statement. Heads of Department are invited to recognise colleagues’ contribution to WIHEA in workload allocations. If a staff member is selected, their term is three years.

For a student to be considered, they must be nominated by a WIHEA Fellow or Alumni. Students nominated must either currently be involved in work beyond their department such as a WIHEA or IATL funded project, or a student led or student/staff partnership or be a member of an SSLC, or be specifically nominated for their contribution to the development of learning and teaching. Should a student with any of the aforementioned experience like to be linked with a WIHEA Fellow/Alumni in their department they can email WIHEA@warwick.ac.uk and we will arrange this. If a student is selected, their term is one year.

There will be a WIHEA Fellowship Recruitment Session on Monday 3 June, 12:30-13:30, that will provide an insight into the Fellowship role and guidance in statement writing. Anyone interested in attending this should email WIHEA@warwick.ac.uk.

The call opened on Monday 20 May and will close at midday on Monday 17 June. All applicants will be informed of their outcome in the week commencing 8 July. Staff can apply for Fellowship or be nominated here, and students can be nominated for Fellowship here – the online nomination/application forms will be available via these links from 20 May.
