Express your interest

You might be applying for your first fellowship and need mentorship and a host lab, or have recently secured funding elsewhere but want to move to Warwick to develop your career further.

Either way, we would be happy to learn about your research plans. We can help suggest schemes appropriate for your career level, explore whether Warwick would be a good fit, and identify an appropriate mentor.

We accept expressions of interest all year round, but please note scheme application deadlines, and aim to approach us at least 12 weeks in advance if you have a scheme in mind unless we have specified a deadline.

What happens to your Expression of Interest

We will pass your completed form and CV to senior subject specialists in the department for review. Our Fellowships Panel, which is made up of members of our Research Committee and Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Committee, will consider the reviews and your documents to best guide you in your ambitions. If there is a funder or institutional cap on the number of applications we can support, there will be a selection process. In these cases, expressions of interest are compared on the strength of the research proposal, the strategic fit for Warwick and track record of achievements.
