The Irish Research Council offers three types of funding under the 2014
programme:
The Government of Ireland Postdoctoral Fellowship Scheme provides funding across all disciplines for early-career researchers based in Ireland for periods of between one and two years. These Fellowships can be held for
either: one year, in order to prepare a doctoral dissertation for publication through a variety of high quality published outputs e.g.
monographs, peer-reviewed articles, edited volumes; or two years, in order to develop either a new research project or a research project that demonstrates a significant development of the subject of the doctorate through a variety of appropriate, feasible and clear published outputs.
The ELEVATE (Marie-Curie Co-Fund) Scheme provides funding across all disciplines for early-career researchers based at an international host institution (years one & two) and an Irish host institution (year three).
The aim of the ELEVATE Fellowship scheme is to fund Irish-based experienced researchers who have gained most of their research experience in Ireland so that they can acquire new skills and expertise while conducting high-level research abroad for two years and then return to Ireland for one final year with their newly acquired knowledge and expertise.
The Enterprise Partnership Programme provides funding for early career researchers working in partnership with academia and industry.
These Fellowships are highly competitive and the UCD School of Classics will only support applications that have an excellent chance of success.
To be eligible to apply to the scheme, applicants must have been awarded their doctoral degree within the five-year period before the call deadline of 11th February 2014 (see the terms and conditions for definitions and possible exceptions).
