Early Career Teaching Fellow - ECTF

Early Career Teaching Fellows

Spring 2026 update:

**Recruitment for the ECTF scheme is paused for the 2026/27 academic year while options for a new programme are explored.**

In collaboration with the Institute for Advanced Studies (IAS), IATL has offered two Early Career Teaching Fellowships, offered to Warwick Doctoral students who have or plan to submit their thesis in this academic year.

These unique fellowships allowed the successful candidates not only to develop and disseminate their research, but also receive training in and experience of IATL's distinctive approach to Interdisciplinary Teaching. Fellows have benefitted from a range of skills and career training from the IAS. Thus the Early Career Teaching Fellowships have offered an unequalled opportunity to make the next step in Fellows' careers.

For an illuminating podcast on how the Fellowships work and on their many benefits to Fellows, listen to our 2023/24 Fellows Dr Fraser Logan and Dr Adam Neal in conversation here. You can also read Fraser's Reflective Blog here.

As Fraser begins: "The Early Career Teaching Fellowship is a fantastic opportunity to gain interdisciplinary teaching experience. It’s an opportunity to develop your teaching philosophy. It’s an opportunity to learn what innovative teaching looks like and to take creative risks in your teaching."

Our current Fellows are Nicola HamerLink opens in a new window and Owain Burrell. You can read here about our past fellows.

Recruitment for the ECTF scheme is currently paused, as noted above.

The Scheme Information page has information about the fellowships, application process and eligibility. The Workshops page covers two events we held in spring 2025 to support applicants and includes resources. See How to Apply for application details (for previous applications).
