Assistant Professor Development Programme

The Assistant Professor (AP) Programme at Trinity College Dublin is a structured four-year development programme designed to support newly appointed Assistant Professors as they establish successful academic careers. It provides a clear framework for professional growth across the three core pillars of research, teaching and engagement, while helping participants navigate probation, performance review and career progression. Through tailored development opportunities, mentoring by experienced academics, and access to specialist supports across the University, the programme enables Assistant Professors to develop as independent researchers, excellent educators, and engaged academic leaders, while contributing to Trinity's strategic goals and academic community.
