Ad Astra Fellowship Scheme - Information for Applicants to Computer Science
The School of Computer Science is seeking applications from exceptional candidates to join our School's faculty as Ad Astra Fellows. These Fellows will initially be appointed for five years, with a performance-based permanency review in year 4.
Computer Science in UCD is undergoing a period of growth and development because of the burgeoning ICT sector and the demand for graduates with computing skills. UCD CS has over 50 academic staff, 120 PhD students and 1,000 students on our undergraduate and taught graduate programmes. The School is keen to recruit academic staff to complement and enhance our existing research expertise and to teach on these programmes.
Our academic staff are active in the following research areas:
- Computer Security
- Data Science, Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence
- Digital Health
- Foundations of Computing
- Human-Computer Interaction
- Information Systems
- Intelligent Sensing
- Software Engineering and Distributed Systems
- and Emerging Topics such as Sustainabilility or Machine Ethics
For a list of our academic staff, please see here

Interested applicants should contact the Head of School, Chris Bleakley
Research at UCD School of Computer Science
Research at UCD Computer Science encompasses areas where the use of computers can efficiently and accurately automate tasks. Many of our researchers are interdisciplinary, and our School leads five major research centres:
Insight - Centre for Data Analytics
We live in a data rich world, where almost everything we do results in a data record being created and stored somewhere. Our vision is to create a healthier, safer, more productive world by empowering a data-driven society to enable better decisions by individuals, communities, business and governments.
The Insight Centre for Data Analytics was created to realise this vision. Insight is a joint initiative between University College Dublin, the National University of Ireland at Galway, University College Cork, and Dublin City University. Insight was established in 2013 by Science Foundation Ireland with funding of €75m. [More]
UCD CCI - Centre for Cybersecurity & Cybercrime Investigation
UCD Centre for Cybersecurity & Cybercrime Investigation (CCI) is a unique, world-class education and research centre with strong and well-established collaborative relationships with law enforcement and industry.
We work in the areas of education, training, research and tool development.
To date participants from 42 countries have benefited from our uniquely flexible approach to cybercrime education. [more]
CeADAR - Centre for Applied Data Analytics
The primary outputs of the CeADAR centre are industry prototypes and demonstrators along with state-of-the-art reviews of data analytics technology, tools, best practice methodologies and processes.
The Centre has an extensive catalogue of technology demonstrators, IP and big data analytics technology reviews, which are all immediately available for evaluation by CeADAR members. [more]
Consus
CONSUS is a collaborative research partnership between UCD and Origin Enterprises PLC that is supported by SFI, which investigates digital, precision agriculture and crop science. Building on UCD's strengths as a centre for agricultural science and data analytics, UCD has partnered with Origin Enterprises plc to develop digital tools for farmers and agronomists. [more]
ML Labs
ML Labs is an SFI Centre for Research Training in Machine Learning. It addresses the urgent industry demand for Machine Learning talent through the delivery of over 100 PhDs in the next 7 years. The centre is a joint initiative between UCD, DCU and TUD and brings together leaders in their field to supervise and train PhD students. Students will benefit from world-class, inter-institutional programmes, led by active researchers as part of a mature interdisciplinary environment that emphasises cutting-edge research with an industry-relevant and entrepreneurial focus.
