From October 2018 I held the position of a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Research Fellow in History at the University of Glasgow. My project explored the relationship between the Gaelic-speaking world (Ireland and Scotland) and the emergence of the Early Modern 'British' State, c.1400-c.1600.

In 2017 I was awarded a one-year postdoctoral fellowship from the Society for Renaissance Studies.

My main duties have included:-preparing and delivering relevant tutorials and lectures- setting and assessing coursework- liaising with staff on key issues such as marking-providing students with detailed, individually tailored feedbackAs a module co-ordinator, I have set assignments, provided recommended reading lists and helped postgraduate tutors plan smaller micro-taught classes. I pride myself on being both a highly motivated and approachable lecturer and colleague and I firmly believe that I enjoy a good working relationship with my colleagues. I have, in turn, become highly proficient in using word processing software such as Microsoft Word and spreadsheet software such as Excel.
