Offer Description

Closing Date: 31-Mar-2025
The Senior Academic Leadership Initiative (SALI) aims to help achieve equality of outcome in the higher education sector. New and additional senior academic leadership posts have been funded in areas where:
1. there is clear evidence of significant gender under-representation;
2. where this appointment will have significant impact within the faculty/department/functional unit and the HEI;
3. where they would be a proportionate and effective means to achieve accelerated and sustainable change within an institution.
The key objective of this initiative is to attract outstanding female applicants both nationally and internationally. In securing posts under this initiative, Maynooth University has demonstrated its commitment to gender equality. Our institution has demonstrable plans for future developments in this area and has outlined the organisational and cultural initiatives in place to support the newly appointed staff.
In line with the objectives of the Higher Education Authority SALI Call 2020, applications from highly qualified female candidates will be prioritised within the boundary of what is legally permissible, in order to address their underrepresentation. In exceptional circumstances, applications from candidates who are in a minority or protected under Irish social legislation, or who also belong to an underrepresented minority in academic posts may be considered if the institution can clearly articulate reasons worthy of legal protection as to why they should be considered.
Please note all applications must be made via our Online Recruitment Portal at the following link:
A complete application requires the following to be submitted by the closing date:
1. Statement, not exceeding 300 words, articulating why the candidate should be considered under the Senior Academic Leadership Initiative;
2. A statement of proposed research (5 pages max)
Appointments will be made in accordance with public sector pay provisions.
Maynooth University is an equal opportunities employer.
The position is subject to the Statutes of the University.
