About This Opportunity

The Rachel Thompson Ussher Fellowship is awarded for a three-year period of research on the Ph.D. register in the area of Modern Languages at Trinity College Dublin. Founded in 2002 by a bequest from Ms Rachel Thompson, M.A. 1930, to the TCD Association and Trust, the fellowship is awarded at three-year intervals to exceptionally well-qualified candidates of outstanding promise. The award covers annual fees and provides maintenance of €13,000 per annum, along with an associated travel grant (€2,000-2,500) funded from the same bequest to which the holder of this fellowship may apply for research travel. It is open to competition by graduates of any nationality intending and permitted to register on year one for a higher degree of Ph.D. in Trinity College Dublin, the University of Dublin.
