About this position
Trinity College Dublin’s School of Nursing and Midwifery, in partnership with St James Hospital, is offering one part-time funded scholarship for entry to a six-year Structured PhD programme in March or September 2027.
The Joint PhD Scholarship is designed for nurses and midwives who want to generate evidence-based knowledge and develop innovative practices that improve care and health outcomes. Research will be conducted within St James Hospital and associated partners, with access to expertise from the Trinity Centre for Practice and Healthcare Innovation (TCPHI).
Potential projects may address integrated care, workforce and people, digital and data-driven healthcare, chronic illness, cancer care and survivorship, or evidence-based nursing practice, research and innovation. Other research areas that enhance outcomes for St James Hospital service users may also be considered.
Successful applicants will work with a potential TCPHI supervisor to refine a robust research proposal. The programme offers an opportunity to connect clinical nursing or midwifery experience with research that can advance the integration of care, services and health systems.
