PAIS has been extremely successful in attracting early career researchers into the department on postdoctoral fellowships. It currently has fifteen postdoctoral fellows amongst its staff members, some who have come to the department on big grants and others through winning individually awarded fellowships through dedicated PDF schemes. The three most recent successes in this latter category have brought the total amount of money awarded to PAIS in competitively organised postdoctoral fellowships to over £1 million in the 2008-2012 period.

We always want to hear from the best possible candidates for postdoctoral awards. Anyone who believes that they have a research CV suited to such success and is interested in applying for PDF funding through PAIS should first make contact with a member of academic staff who they hope will act as their designated mentor. The research interests of staff can be found at-a-glance on the academic staff listing, which also contains links to more in-depth research profiles. Once a commitment has been secured from a potential mentor, they should then contact e dot a dot page at warwick dot ac dot uk, who coordinates PDF applications on behalf of PAIS. Details of some of the key funding sources for postdoctoral research can be found on this page.
