PhD Opportunity - Integrating Heritage at Trinity East
Professor Timothy Stott and his team are inviting applications to doctoral research on the heritage of Trinity East in Grand Canal Dock, Dublin.
There are four PhD opportunities available for this interdisciplinary research project. Each is fully funded by the Trinity Research Doctorate Award scheme, which covers tuition and a stipend of €25,000 per year. Please click the below links for further information on each research area, and instructions on how to apply.
The heritage of Trinity East is uniquely complex, a combination of tangible and intangible and of multiple historical and present actors, and requires an interdisciplinary study. Our research project will study the built, cultural, commercial, and natural heritage of the Trinity East site and the larger Grand Canal Dock area. Our aim is to understand how the historical complexity and legacy of human-environment interactions have shaped the unique challenges and possibilities of this site and how the globalisation of Dublin has affected local communities and their natural and built environments.
