UCD Ad Astra Fellows
UCD Sutherland School of Law is looking for high potential early stage academics to nominate as candidates for the UCD Ad Astra Fellows programme. These appointments will be made at Lecturer/Assistant Professor grade. UCD will make approximately 65 appointments, across all disciplines, this year (with more posts becoming available in following years). The initial term will be five years with the possibility of permanency after a four-year review. Ad Astra Fellows will have a reduced teaching load for up to three years and Appointees will receive research support for the first five years, which will normally consist of a PhD student scholarship and a budget for research costs of €5000 per annum. Candidates interested in applying should contact the Dean of Law, Professor Imelda Maher (opens in a new window)deanoflaw@ucd.ie
