Trinity College Dublin is hiring 40 new Ussher Assistant Professors before the end of 2016 to support the delivery of the University’s new Strategic Plan 2014-19. It is part of Trinity’s strategy to recruit excellent academics in areas where Trinity has proven strengths.

Trinity College Dublin is Ireland’s university on the world stage. Recognised for its transformative research and education conducted at the frontiers of disciplines, Trinity is ranked 78th in the world by the QS World University Rankings 2015.

The pursuit of academic excellence through research and scholarship is at the heart of Trinity’s academic endeavour. Trinity is known for intellectual rigour, excellence, interdisciplinarity, and research-led teaching. Home to Nobel prize-winners such as scientist Ernest Walton, and writer Samuel Beckett and, William C. Campbell the recipient of the 2015 prize in Medicine, Trinity draws visitors from across the world to its historic campus each year, including to the Book of Kells and Science Gallery which capture the university’s connection to both old and new.

Trinity accounts for one-quarter of all spin-out companies from Irish higher education institutions, helping to turn Ireland into an innovation-intensive, high-productivity economy. That culture of innovation and entrepreneurship is a defining characteristic of our campus as we help shape the next generation of job creators and global citizens.

Founded in 1592, Trinity is situated at the nexus of tradition and innovation, offering undergraduate and postgraduate programmes across 24 schools and three faculties: arts, humanities, and social sciences; engineering, mathematics and science; and health sciences.

Trinity is proud of its inclusive ethos and tradition.

On that basis we encourage and welcome talented people from all backgrounds.
