Academic posts
Investing in faculty development through academic posts ensures that University of Galway remains a hub of scholarly activity, offering students access to cutting-edge ideas and the expertise needed for academic and professional growth.
We work with our partners to fund Professorships, Lecturerships, Postdoctoral Researchers and PhDs Candidates, who shine light on given issues and act as lightening rods for emerging talent, drawing in other academics, industry partners and the wider community.
Foundation Research Lectureships lead our research excellence areas and serve to advance University of Galway’s research agenda in addressing some of the world’s most pressing issues.
Funded significantly by philanthropy, these Lectureships reflect an innovative new approach to recruiting from a highly talented, motivated and diverse talent pool from across the globe.
All of the newly recruited posts will reflect the University of Galway's strategy to develop internationally-recognised research excellence in a range of priority areas.
As part of our continuing faculty development, University of Galway will create a number of new Chairs aligned with our areas of focus, facilitating growth and supporting our ambitious research agenda.
The Chair Infrastructure at our university comprises:
• A Professor
• Postdoctoral Researchers
• PhDs Candidates
