Applicants should begin by contacting a member of the academic staff in a relevant discipline to find out if someone is available to supervise their research and to discuss a research proposal and possible funding opportunities.

Please refer to www.nuigalway.ie/our-research/ for a list of research areas at NUI Galway and the contact details of academic staff.
