University of Warwick is inviting applications for IAS Early Career fellowships in science. The competition is open to Warwick students registered for a research-based doctorate at Warwick. Students funded through this scheme are expected to use the Fellowship to advance the development of their research careers – by writing research publications, conference papers, job applications and postdoctoral fellowship/grant proposals – while engaging with the interdisciplinary activities of Warwick’s Institute of Advanced Study (IAS). The closing date for the next round of applications is 17 June 2013.

Study Subject(s): The six month workshop will either be focused on skills development or be subject-based, depending on the common interests of the Fellows.
Course Level: The competition is open to Warwick students registered for a research-based doctorate at Warwick (excluding the Doctorate in Clinical Psychology).
Scholarship Provider: University of Warwick
Scholarship can be taken at: UK

Eligibility: -The competition is open to Warwick students registered for a research-based doctorate at Warwick (excluding the Doctorate in Clinical Psychology). There are two competitions each year for Warwick doctoral students who have submitted or expect to submit their thesis for examination

between 1 April and 30 September (The Fellowship will start on 1 October) Round 1

between 1 October and 31 March (The Fellowship will start on 1 April) Round 2

-Candidates should not be in full-time employment during the Fellowship, but may hold contracts of up to 50%, either at Warwick or outside the University. Continuation of the Fellowship beyond the doctoral examination is contingent upon successful completion of the viva (ie a recommendation to award the PhD or other doctoral degree with or without minor corrections, but NOT a recommendation to resubmit/referral). Candidates are required to live within a reasonable distance of the University, so as to participate in IAS and Graduate School activities as appropriate. Candidates must be eligible for residence and work in the UK during their award.

Scholarship Open for International Students: UK students (Warwick doctoral candidates) can apply for these Fellowships.

Scholarship Description: This programme is designed to support Warwick doctoral candidates in the transition phase between their doctoral and postdoctoral careers. Students funded through this scheme are expected to use the Fellowship to advance the development of their research careers – by writing research publications, conference papers, job applications, and postdoctoral fellowship/grant proposals – while engaging with the interdisciplinary activities of Warwick’s Institute of Advanced Study (IAS). The Fellowships are available on a part-time basis, and can be held in conjunction with part-time (up to 50%) employment within or outside the University. Fellows will be expected to participate in a number of activities at the IAS and Warwick Graduate School/Wolfson Research Exchange, and thus must be resident within a reasonable distance of Warwick during the tenure of their award.

Number of award(s): It is expected that there will be a maximum of twenty (20) Fellowships per academic year.

Duration of award(s): Fellowships will be awarded for a period of up to 6 months. Shorter Fellowship periods can be arranged to accommodate non-Home/EU candidates’ visa status. Autumn Fellowships are potentially extendable to ten months conditional upon satisfactory progress.

What does it cover? Fellows will be paid a small bursary for the duration of the Fellowship. This will be calculated using the Research Council stipend (£13,590 per annum full-time in 2012-13) as a guide, prorated to take account of the Fellow’s other paid work commitments. So, for example, a Fellow who had a part-time job of up to 20 hours a week would be eligible for an award at 50% of the Research Council rate which would amount to£566.25 per month. The total award is £3,397.50 for 6 months. In addition Fellows may claim up to £150 towards research expenses (eg towards costs of attending a conference). This expenditure must be agreed in advance with the IAS Director. Fellows will have access to the Warwick Library and Wolfson Research Exchange and to hot-desking, office and seminar room facilities at the IAS.

Selection Criteria: Selection will be made on the basis of:

-Academic Excellence

-Quality of proposal

-Applicant’s ability and willingness to situate his/her research project within the broader interdisciplinary research framework of the IAS.

Notification: Results of the competition will be announced in July/August and successful candidates are expected to take up the award on 1 October 2013.

How to Apply: Applications must be made electronically, using the IAS application form. Completed applications will comprise:

-a completed application form received by the deadline

-a project statement of up to 1,000 words

-a statement of up to 150 words on how their research would benefit from/contribute to the IAS

-the CV of the applicant

-2 letters of reference emailed directly to IAS-at-warwick.ac.uk by the deadline

-signatures of the applicant’s Head of Department and Departmental Administrator.

-It is the responsibility of the applicant to ensure that the application is complete with the academic references and reaches the Institute of Advanced Study by the closing date. Late or incomplete applications submitted will not be considered.

Scholarship Application Deadline: The closing date for the next round of applications is 12:00 noon on Monday 17 June 2013.
