In 2019 University College Dublin launched the UCD Ad Astra Fellowship scheme to welcome early career academics into its community of scholars. The scheme is now looking for the next thirty Fellows to join the Colleges of Business, Arts & Humanities and Health & Agricultural Sciences.

UCD is particularly interested in receiving applications from academics who will contribute to advancing one or more of the four themes identified in its current strategy: Creating a Sustainable Global Society, Transforming through Digital Technology, Building a Healthy World, and Empowering Humanity. 

The School of History welcomes applications from excellent candidates whose expertise expands and strengthens the School’s research and its undergraduate and graduate teaching programmes. The School has identified the history of the Middle Ages as a strategic area of interest in which it would particularly like to receive applications.
