About the Role

For informal enquiries, please contact Prof Neophytos Loizides (Principle Investigator (PEACERETURN)) at Neophytos.loizides@warwick.ac.uk.

Applications are invited for the role of Research Fellow as part of the ERC Advanced ‘PEACERETURN’ project, led by Professor Neophytos Loizides, in the Department of Politics and International Studies (PAIS) at the University of Warwick. The project, which will run for five years, focuses on victims of forced displacement and their decisions to return (or not) to their pre-conflict communities. Professor Loizides and colleagues from the University of Kent, the University of Cyprus, and Sabanci University, seek to understand why the proportion of actual returnees worldwide has been in significant decline in the past three decades despite the growing consensus among governments, international NGOs, and often victims of displacement themselves of the value of peaceful voluntary return. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to lead academic papers and work collaborative with an international team of award-winning scholars in the field of conflict, forced migration and gender studies.

The University of Warwick has been recognised as an international centre of research excellence by leading experts.

The University of Warwick has cemented its position as one of the UK’s academic powerhouses after 92% of its research was assessed as being ‘world leading or internationally excellent’ by a panel of global experts.

A remarkable 50% of Warwick’s submitted research was awarded the highest possible rating of ‘world leading’ (four stars), up from 37% in 2014.

A further 42% was assessed to be ‘internationally excellent’ (three stars).
