Enables two National Law School (NLS) Staff (from across the NLS consortium) per year (for 3 years starting in August 2023) to visit Warwick Law School (WLS).

• To provide opportunities for WLS and NLS staff to build partnerships/international research collaborations through a NLS Visiting Fellowship at Warwick and the possibility of a visit by WLS staff to NLS.

Applicants for this programme will hold a full time-time academic post at a National Law School in India.

Those interested in the Programme will be expected to make an application to WLS. Because the scheme is designed to give opportunities to staff to develop their research and to explore possibilities for collaboration between WLS and NLS staff, only those applications where it is possible to match research interests will be approved. The visitor will be expected to present their research to colleagues (and/or postgraduate students) and if appropriate can make a contribution to teaching.

As a NLS Visiting Research Fellow, we anticipate that you will work alongside a hosting member of Warwick Law School. We advise that you work with this member of staff when completing your application. Once appointed, the Law School will endeavour to provide you with a workspace including computer, printing facilities, phone and access to library resources, subject to availability.

Applicants will need to apply and visit within the same financial year (01 August – 31 July) and please be aware that it can take up to 8 weeks to process all of the HR paperwork to confirm your visit. Please therefore apply well in advance of the requested date to visit.

Funding is available for NLS Visiting Fellows (up to £4000 per person) as follows:

• WLS would cover travel costs (£1000), accommodation and subsistence (£1500 per month) up to a total of £4000 (ie travel £1000; 2 x £1500) per visit. The scheme would therefore provide funding for a visit of up to 2 months for each visiting fellow (length of stay may depend on the availability of appropriate accommodation).
• Applicants will need to apply and visit within the same financial year (01 August – 31 July

NLS would cover local costs of any return visits by WLS staff.

The deadline for applications for 2023-2024 will be 31 August 2023. Please make sure that you submit your application and CV by this date. We will then aim to review your application and communicate a decision within 3 weeks of the deadline.
