HCI Teaching Fellow (Statistics)

The School of Computer Science and Statistics invites applications for a full-time Teaching Fellow in Statistics. Applicants must hold a postgraduate degree or have equivalent experience in Statistics. Applicants must also have an excellent academic track record relative to their career stage. Teaching Fellows will be expected to teach at undergraduate and/or postgraduate level (through lectures, laboratories, tutorials or other learning activities), supervise student projects and dissertations and undertake administrative tasks supporting teaching and learning in the School.

This post has been created with the specific purpose of supporting full-time academic staff over 2 years while they create content for the proposed online Postgraduate Certificate and Diploma in Statistics, under funding provided for this purpose through the Human Capital Initiative.

This post is funded through Pillar 3 of the Human Capital Initiative. This government-funded initiative was launched in late 2019 and will invest €300m over five years in increasing the capacity of higher education to meet skills needs of the future. The three pillars of the initiative cover the areas of Graduate Conversion Courses (Pillar 1), Additional Places on Existing Undergraduate Provision (Pillar 2), and Innovation and Agility (Pillar 3) - full details can be found on the HEA’s dedicated website.

Under Pillar 3 Innovation and Agility, a total of €206m has been provided across the HEI sector over 5 years to fund innovation and agility in methods of teaching and learning and the ability to respond to emerging skills needs through, for example, delivery of new courses or adaptation of existing courses. Following the call for submissions for Pillar 3, Trinity was awarded €21m, the highest individual award to any HEI, under the umbrella theme of ‘Next Generation Teaching and Learning for the Changing Needs of Society and Enterprise’, for course proposals across 24 individual work packages.

Trinity is an equal opportunities employer, and we encourage applications from talented people of all backgrounds to join our staff community.
