Early Career Researchers

Early-career researchers are the lifeblood of the Trinity Long Room Hub’s research environment and each year our member schools nominate up to 50 PhD researchers and postdoctoral fellows for career-enhancing residencies. They form an integral part of our community and actively participate in our programmes and events, including a number of public engagement initiatives.

The annual nomination process for early career researcher residencies is advertised in conjunction with member schools’ Directors of Postgraduate Teaching and Learning in May each year. 

Early Career Researcher Poster Showcases

Each year, the Trinity Long Room Hub highlights the research of Trinity's PhD students and early career researchers through their annual ECR Poster Showcase.
