Job description

Maynooth University is committed to a strategy in which the primary University goals of excellent research and scholarship and outstanding education are interlinked and equally valued.We are seeking a postdoctoral researcher to work on the Taighde Éireann Pathway project, ‘Power and patronage in medieval Ireland: Clonard from the sixth to twelfth centuries’ (2022-2026), led by Dr Niamh Wycherley. This project entails a historical case study of a significant institution, of strategic political and religious importance, which allows for an articulation of new paradigms of power in medieval Ireland. These are revealed through the entanglements of ecclesiastical and royal elites during a time of radical political change. The chronological parameters of the study range from the earliest ‘historical’ evidence for a church at Clonard, Co. Meath, up until the diocesan seat was moved to Trim in 1202. The project promises to shed new light on the religious landscape of pre-modern Ireland and the ways in which it was shaped by the interests of aristocratic elites, as much as by (and in tandem with) ecclesiastics.The postdoctoral researcher will be primarily focused on the delivery of work packages 5, 6, 8, and 9 (outlined below) of the research project, as directed by the Principal Investigator.WP 5: theme 4: immigration and change (9th – 10th centuries);
