Election to Fellowship 2025-26
The Fellowship Process for 2025-26 is now OPEN.
Trinity College Dublin was founded as a corporation consisting of the Provost, the Fellows, and the Scholars. Fellows are elected annually on Trinity Monday. During Michaelmas term 2025, the Central Fellowship Committee will begin to prepare recommendations for nomination to Fellowship for 2025-26. In anticipation of this, the Fellowship Process for 2025-26 is now Open.
Distinction in scholarship or research achievement is the primary qualification for Fellowship. Achievement in scholarship and research will be assessed primarily through publication record. Work expressed in a form other than publication will be considered, provided that it may be subjected to scholarly analysis and independent assessment. Evidence of the Fellowship candidate’s contribution to College life and academic promise are important elements of an application. Contribution to the development of their subject nationally and internationally will also be considered.
For the full eligibility criteria and information about the Fellowship process, including helpful information for applicants and proposers, please find some further information at the end of this webpage under the heading ‘Documents to Consult’. We encourage you to read this documentation prior to submitting a Fellowship application.
