Trinity College will start searching for 40 new associate professors next month as it’s new five-year strategic plan gets into full swing.
A total of €16m has been set aside to recruit the new ‘Ussher’ academics, named after James Ussher, often referred to as Trinity’s first scholar – the roles begin in September next year.
It is the second time that Trinity has created a distinct set of professorships with the Ussher name to foster young academics. The latest wave of professorships reflects the success of the first programme.
“The recruitment of these new posts across the university will build academic capacity to develop new educational programmes,” said Professor Linda Hogan, chair of the recruitment process, vice-provost and chief academic officer.
“We have identified the posts most crucial to executing our mission, and attracting talented people from around the world who will foster global engagement in education and research.”
