Welcome to the UCD Ad Astra Fellows programme — where you can reach for the stars.
University College Dublin is seeking to recruit fifty early-career faculty through the Ad Astra Fellows programme, building on the success of the programme in previous years. These appointments span all six Colleges of the University: the Colleges of Arts & Humanities, Business, Engineering & Architecture, Health & Agricultural Sciences, Science, and Social Sciences & Law. They present an outstanding opportunity for candidates to advance their academic careers in a dynamic and engaged research-intensive university that makes a real difference to the world.
This Ad Astra recruitment round is aligned with the UCD Strategy to 2030, Breaking Boundaries, launched in November 2024. Areas of focus for the current round include AI/digital technologies, sustainability, One Health, research for public policy and Irish cultural heritage. If the vision in our Strategy excites you and you are interested in realising your ambitions at UCD, I invite you to explore this opportunity further and apply to join our faculty as an Ad Astra Fellow.
