Individual projects

Colleagues have observed with increasing alarm the growth of contingent faculty positions at the expense of tenure track lines throughout the field of art history. Given this new reality, the NFAH would like to be the first to address it by way of new fellowships designed around the specific needs of contingent faculty. Realizing that many contingent faculty cannot take regular full-year fellowships without losing the tenuous support of their positions, these new NFAH fellowships aim to supply two or three subsequent summers of research leave.

The National Geographic Society, in partnership with the Conrad Hilton Foundation’s Safe Water Initiative, invites proposals from storytellers to create and disseminate content that raises public awareness about sustainable freshwater use. This initiative seeks to illuminate global freshwater challenges, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa, North Africa, Western Asia, and the Middle East. Projects can take various forms, including photography, film, and data visualization.

The initiative aims at providing more freedom for writing a larger scholarly treatise to professors from the humanities and social sciences who have already achieved a degree of renown by virtue of (a first) outstanding research performance. Candidates can apply for a substitute professorship , whereby this scheme also aims at providing a perspective for early career academics.

As a pioneer, Bertha Benz not only undertook the world’s first overland journey in an automobile over 130 years ago; she also supported the inventions of her husband Carl Benz in an entrepreneurial spirit and with technical expertise. To commemorate her achievements, which were quite exceptional for that time, the Foundation awards the Bertha Benz Prize once a year. In the spirit of its name-giver, it honors young female engineers with outstanding dissertations.

King’s College makes up to six appointments to College Research Associates each year in any subject. Applicants must at the time of appointment be of post-doctoral standing, and may be graduates of any university. They must at the time of appointment, and for the duration of the appointment, be employed by the University of Cambridge in a post-doctoral research role. There are no conditions of age or subject attached to these positions, but candidates would normally be early in their research careers.

The YLA is open to early to mid-career researchers, preferably between 2 to 12 years after PhD completion, YLA fellows will be appointed for a period of 2 years.

We are delighted to announce that EUTOPIA Global Partners Stellenbosch University (SU) and Monash University (MU) are joining the 3rd call of the YLA. Their presence will further diversify and internationalise this group of promising researchers from EUTOPIA.

We offer a visiting fellowship program for Professors/Associate Professors. This scheme allows Warwick departments to invite distinguished academics and other high-profile individuals to Warwick for extended stays and various longer-term activities.
