Applications are invited for Ad Astra Fellows in UCD School of Earth Sciences (post reference: 011321). The Ad Astra Fellowship scheme is a new academic recruitment initiative at University College Dublin, Ireland, under which approximately 65 appointments will be made at Lecturer/Assistant Professor grade each year for the next five years. The scheme is an open competition and is targeted at high-potential, early-stage academics.

UCD School of Earth Sciences welcomes applications to the Ad Astra scheme from individuals working in any area of Earth Sciences, and especially from genders under-represented amongst Faculty. In particular, we seek applications from early-stage academics in research areas with significant growth potential. These research areas may be linked to, but are not limited to, those of the Irish Research Center in Applied Geosciences (iCRAG), or may they may represent thematic areas such as remote sensing and data mining in Earth Sciences.

The School provides a BSc (Hons) degree in Geology, in addition to other taught modules across Earth Science, Environmental Science and Sustainability. We contribute to MSc degrees in Environmental Science, Environmental Sustainability and Energy Systems. A new MSc in Subsurface Characterisation and Geomodelling will be introduced in 2020. An ability and willingness to contribute significantly to these and future programmes, and to supervise MSc and PhD research, is expected.

Please apply here, select the Ad Astra Fellows for UCD College of Science and indicate your
