Followers of this blog might remember this post from early 2018, I had taken up a new position in DIT after almost 10 years at the NCG. Well after a hectic but enjoyable year I interviewed for a RS Lecturer role in the Dept Geography back in Maynooth. I'm very glad to say I got that post - great department, good research support structure, closer to home - too many benefits - and am starting there next week. Today is my last day in DIT, so I am finishing grading repeats, backing up data and basically getting ready. My colleagues here in DIT were a great bunch, very welcoming and I will be sorry to leave them - but I know from experience (not just in The Roost) that the staff at Dept of Geography are a great bunch too so looking forward to starting there.
Now lets see if I can get a paper cracked out in the 2 or 3 weeks before classes start back - I have material for two ready to go.
Goodbye for now DIT and congrats on the TUI award.
