We are especially interested in applications from candidates who can diversify the geographical and historical range of our subjects, and whose research matches most closely with one or more of the following strategic priority areas: practice-led research; film and media history; cultural analytics; screenwriting; creative non-fiction; drama and performance.

The School is under-represented in the following geographical areas of expertise: Africa, Asia-Pacific, Caribbean, South Asia, Middle East, and Latin America. Candidates with geographical expertise in these areas across the range of our subjects are particularly encouraged. Applications would be particularly encouraged also from earlier periods of the historical range of our subjects. Candidates should also seek to demonstrate awareness of the research funding landscape as it pertains to their areas of expertise, and to show how they can provide leadership to help the School grow new areas of research and teaching.

Application Procedure

Applications will consist of a cover letter, in which the applicant will describe how their academic and research profile aligns with one or more of the UCD strategic themes (1. Creating a Sustainable Global Society, 2. Transforming through Digital Technology, 3. Building a Healthy World, 4. Empowering Humanity), a complete CV including all research publications and research grants to date together with any publications submitted for publication but not yet published, and the names and the contact details of three potential referees.
