Warwick Business School's Visiting Scholars Program
The Warwick Business School (WBS) is launching a new Visiting Scholars Scheme which has been set-up to encourage international academics to spend between one and six months at Warwick Business School, with the objective of creating a mutually beneficial exchange of knowledge and practice.
Eligibility:
Applications are invited from academics who would like to develop a research link with a WBS subject group or research centre, or already have an existing link. Applicants would need to be able to demonstrate how collaboration between the schools in research and course development would be strengthened through their visit.
Period of residency:
Between one and six months between September 2004 and July 2006.
Academic workload:
Applicants should expect to be engaged in research and also have an interest in the development of modules on one of our courses at either undergraduate, postgraduate or post-experience levels. A brief report from the scholar and the host group/centre outlining the outputs, impacts and benefits to the scholar and the two schools will be required on completion of the stay.
Compensation:
WBS will provide a stipend of £1,000 per month to cover the cost of a campus flat and a contribution towards living expenses, and a one off travelling expenses payment of up to £500. An additional fee of £1,000 per month will be payable where the scholar contributes to teaching or to a specific research project in the host subject group or research centre.

A letter of application (and any preliminary enquires) should be addressed to Ann Jackson at the following address:
