The MACMORRIS Project seeks to map the full range of cultural activity in Ireland, across languages and ethnic groups, from roughly 1541 to 1691. It is a 4-year digital-humanities project funded by the Irish Research Council, and based in Maynooth University, Ireland.
The Project is currently seeking to recruit a well-qualified applicant interested in undertaking a research degree at PhD level. The successful candidate will have at least a 2.1 degree at BA and MA level, with a strong scholarly grounding in Renaissance literature and early modern Ireland.
The ideal candidate will have with a background in one or more of the following disciplines: Early Modern English, History, Gaeilge, Modern Languages, Classics, Comparative Literature, Post-/Colonial Studies, Women’s Writing, Archaeology, Environmental Humanities, Library Science, and Information Management.
See Maynooth University website here for details on the funding, possible topics, supervision, deadline etc..

The MACMORRIS project (Mapping Actors and Communities: A Model of Research in Renaissance Ireland in the 16th and 17th Centuries) is a four-year digital-humanities project funded by the Irish Research Council that seeks to map the full range of cultural activity in Ireland, across languages and ethnic groups, from roughly 1541 to 1691. It is led by Prof. Pat Palmer of Maynooth University, Department of English. The project aims to offer an inclusive account of creative, scholarly, and intellectual activity in a period of conflict, change and innovation which transformed Ireland. In doing so, it will extend, unify and redefine our understanding of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Ireland, its place in the European Renaissance and in the wider global networks of an emerging modernity.
The project has two objectives. First, it will build a dataset of every figure from or living in or closely associated with Ireland in this period. Secondly, it will use the province of Munster as a case study and, using the biographical and bibliographical data gleaned from the dataset, it will create an interactive map to identify, geo-locate, and provide biographical and bibliographical information for the totality of cultural producers working in Irish, English, and other languages in Munster between 1569 and 1607.
The MACMORRIS Project seeks to recruit a well-qualified applicant interested in undertaking a research degree at PhD level in a way that complements the project’s objective of producing a more inclusive account of early modern Ireland. To that end, we are inviting applications from candidates with research interest in one or more of the following areas: group biography; communities of writers and learned families; patterns of patronage, knowledge exchange, manuscript circulation, and book history; patterns of settlement, conflict, and interactions between communities; translation and cross-cultural exchanges (principally involving Irish, English, Latin, and Spanish). Given the case-study’s focus on the province of Munster, an interest in cultural practices and interactions there would be particularly welcome. The ideal candidate will have with a background in one or more of the following: early modern literature, history, archaeology, library science, information management. (Co-supervision with another department, e.g. History, Gaeilge, Classics is possible.) The candidate should have an interest in applied digital humanities and feel comfortable working on an interdisciplinary team.

The Department of History, University of Limerick, is offering one full-time PhD Teaching Fellowship in Early Modern German History. Proposals for projects in the following areas are particularly encouraged: history of education, print culture, Reformation history, urban history. The successful candidate will be attached to the Limerick Early Modern Studies Forum.
The Department of History, with UL’s Faculty of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences, is also offering two three-year fee-waivers only in any area of post-1500 History.
The deadline for applications for both the PhD Teaching Fellowship and the PhD Fee Waivers is 29th April 2016.
Further details can be found on the Limerick Early Modern Studies Forum website.
