WIRL COFUND Fellowships are open to applicants across all disciplines. WIRL COFUND Fellowships aim to provide career development opportunities for outstanding scholars at a relatively early stage of their careers.

Fellows will deliver a significant piece of independent, interdisciplinary research, and associated research outputs as well as participating in an advanced programme of training and mentoring designed to equip them for a role as a future research leader.

In order to further develop their skills and experience, Fellows are also encouraged to undertake a secondment to another organisation in order to gain experience in research outside Warwick.

WIRL-COFUND will build on the successful training model developed in the IAS fellowship programmes to bring together early career researchers from around the world into an interdisciplinary research environment. WIRL-COFUND fellows will be expected to undertake research in an area that is linked to one of the Warwick Global Research Priorities.
