literary, film, media, and performance cultures. The School plays key 
roles in leading collaborations with major cultural, creative and 
educational institutions, fostering the highest standards of creative 
and performance practice nationally and internationally, and developing 
innovative interdisciplinary research and teaching in major fields such 
as cultural analytics, environmental humanities, gender and sexuality 
studies, medical humanities, and new media studies. The School ranks in 
the Top 50 in the QS World Subject rankings, and is home to major 
research projects funded by the European Research Council, Irish 
Research Council, Wellcome Trust, and others.

The School welcomes applications in any of our constituent subjects – 
Creative Writing, Drama, English, and Film and Media. We are especially

priority areas: practice-led research; film and media history; cultural 
analytics; screenwriting; creative non-fiction; drama and performance.

The School is under-represented in the following geographical areas of 
expertise: Africa, Asia-Pacific, Caribbean, South Asia, Middle East, and 
Latin America. Candidates with geographical expertise in these areas 
across the range of our subjects are particularly encouraged. 
Applications would be particularly encouraged also from earlier periods 
of the historical range of our subjects. Candidates should also seek to 
demonstrate awareness of the research funding landscape as it pertains 
to their areas of expertise, and to show how they can provide leadership 
to help the School grow new areas of research and teaching.
