Expectations of Fellows

Fellows will be hosted by their nominator, and will largely be based in the nominators department, but will be expected to undertake a programme of research and teaching activities which engage across departments and disciplines. The visiting fellow will also be expected to spend time in the IAS to present their work to our interdisciplinary mix of fellows and engage with our Early Career Researcher community. The fellowship activities should be appropriate to the scholarship and experience of the fellow and may include activities such as:

• Specific research collaborations and development of publications & funding applications with the nominating host and other academics
• Networking and engagement with IAS postdoctoral fellows and other early career researchers to give insight into academic career development and opportunities outside the UK
• Exploration of further collaborative research opportunities with groups/individuals beyond the Principal Applicants research area
• Interdisciplinary engagement beyond the host academic department and participation in the activity of the Spotlights and other interdisciplinary research Institutes at Warwick
• Research and/or training events targeted at early career scholars (e.g. IAS Accolade Programme, DTPs, Faculty postdoc groups etc) which aim to develop knowledge and expertise not otherwise available at Warwick
• Events aimed at public audience, possibly in collaboration with Warwick Institute of Engagement
• Research talks and other events aimed at an engaging an audience beyond the Fellow’s immediate field of specialism and developing new research collaborations
• Presentation of Fellow’s core research to specific disciplinary audience (e.g. departmental seminars, guest lectures for UG/PG students
• Workshops/Seminars/Teaching for UG/PG students
• Any other activities which meet the aims of the programme
