Government of Ireland Postdoctoral Fellowship Opportunities at University College Dublin
Call for Expressions of Interest: deadline
extended until 15 September
Ireland’s new research funding agency Research Ireland (that replaces the Irish Research Council) offers fully funded Postdoctoral Fellowships at higher education institutions in Ireland for up to two years. The call will open officially on 11 September and close on 23 October. We anticipate applicants of any nationality to be eligible who have normally been awarded their doctoral degree within the five-year period between 1 June 2021 and 31 May 2026 (tbc - please check call documents for exact details after the call has opened). To be eligible applicants must have authored or co-authored at least one published peer-reviewed research publication or have demonstrable equivalent intellectual property outputs.
The School of Philosophy at University College Dublin welcomes expressions of interests from postdoctoral candidates on a wide range of topics in philosophy. Please note that each faculty member is only allowed to support one postdoctoral candidate for this call. To be considered we ask interested candidates to submit an expression of interest to a faculty member at UCD in their area of research whom they would like to act as their Academic Mentor for the Postdoctoral Fellowship application.
UCD School of Philosophy deadline for expressions of interest: 15 September 2025
How to submit an expression of interest:
Please email the following documents to your preferred mentor, who must be a faculty member in the UCD School of Philosophy:
· An academic CV, including details about your academic employment (if applicable), education and the date when your PhD was awarded (or is expected to be awarded), publications (please list works published or accepted for publication separately from works under review or works in progress), presentations, scholarships, awards, prizes, research funding (as applicable), and any other relevant academic or non-academic experience and achievements. If possible, please include a link on your CV to a personal or other website where pre-prints of our publications can be accessed (e.g. PhilPeople profile).
· A research proposal (approximately two pages), including aims, objectives and central research questions, research design and methodologies, a rough schedule, and details of how your proposed research project advances existing scholarship.
Faculty members will decide which candidate they support for this call. Please note that we are not able to provide feedback on drafts submitted at the initial expressions of interest stage.
The UCD School of Philosophy has research strengths in areas including, but not restricted to, Contemporary European (Continental) Philosophy, History of Philosophy, Metaphysics, Philosophy of Mind, Philosophy of Language, Epistemology, Ethics, Social and Political Philosophy, Philosophy of Religion and Cognitive Science. We offer a lively culture of collaborative research activity, with invited speaker seminars, international conferences, and thematic workshops. In recent years, we have been very successful at attracting and hosting IRC/Research Ireland and other Postdoctoral Fellowships.
The UCD School of Philosophy hosts several research centres and projects, including the Centre for Ethics in Public Life (CEPL), the UCD Newman Centre for the Study of Religions, nationally and internationally funded research projects at postgraduate and postdoctoral level, and an ERC project on New Histories of British Moral Philosophy in the Eighteenth Century (2025–2030), led by Ruth Boeker.
