Dear Colleagues,
I would like to draw your attention to the following post, just being
advertised.
Moray McGowan
Trinity College
The University of Dublin
The Trinity Long Room Hub
Professor and Academic Director
Trinity College Dublin seeks to appoint a scholar of international repute
to lead the development of the Long Room Hub, Trinity’s Research Institute
for the Arts and Humanities. It is intended that the appointment will take
effect from October 2008 (or as soon as possible thereafter).
The Academic Director, who will have the status of a full Professor in one
of the five associated Schools in the College’s Faculty of Arts,
Humanities and Social Sciences, will be appointed to the Directorship for
a period of five years. At the end of this five-year period, the
appointee will revert to one of the Schools as a full-time, permanent,
academic of Professorial status.
As well as being a renowned academic, the Academic Director will be an
outstanding leader and manager with the ability, vision and drive to lead
the Trinity Long Room Hub in the achievement of the College’s objective of
having world-class standing in the Humanities. He or she will have
successfully led a comparable institute elsewhere, or will be able to
demonstrate the potential to do so.
