Expectations of Fellows

Fellows will be hosted by their nominator, and will largely be based in the nominator's department and they will be expected to undertake a programme of research and other research related activities which engage across departments and disciplines. The visiting fellow will be expected to spend time in the IAS, presenting research and engaging with our Early Career Researcher community. This will be in the form of a research presentation which will be open to everyone at Warwick. The fellowship activities should be appropriate to the scholarship and experience of the fellow and may include activities such as:

• Developing research collaborations, 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 collaborative research opportunities with other groups & individuals at Warwick
• Interdisciplinary engagement of researchers beyond the host academic department, possibly through participation in the activity of the Spotlights and other interdisciplinary research Institutes at Warwick
• Research 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 a public audience, possibly in collaboration with Warwick Institute of Engagement
• Research talks, workshops or other events aimed at engaging an audience beyond the Fellow’s immediate field of specialism and developing new research collaborations
• Presentation of Fellow’s core research to a specific disciplinary audience (e.g departmental research seminars)

Appointment type

Commonly, visiting associates will be individuals of appropriate academic/professional standing who are employed by another university or similar institution. Visiting associates may also be from outside academia, such as in the arts or business. The association will be made at an appropriate academic standing equivalent to a University of Warwick appointment level (Associate Professor or Professor).
