DrJivitesh Vashisht

At UCD, I am Government of Ireland Postdoctoral Fellow in the School of English, Drama, and Film, and resident scholar in the Humanities Institute.

Prior to arriving in Ireland, I was affiliated to several institutions in the United Kingdom as a postdoctoral researcher. Since finishing my PhD at the University of Leeds (2019), I have held the Brotherton Fellowship at the Leeds Arts and Humanities Research Institute (2020), the Junior Anniversary Fellowship at the Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities, University of Edinburgh (2020-21), and an ECR Foundation Award with the Glasgow Medical Humanities Network (2021).

My research has been funded by scholarly and public funding bodies including the Irish Research Council, the Wellcome Trust, Society for French Studies, British Comparative Literature Association, British Council, Gilchrist Trust, and L'Institut Français (London).

I grew up in Delhi, India, where I also studied for my undergraduate degree.
