TRINITY COLLEGE DUBLIN is set to appoint its first-ever woman provost in the university’s 429-year history.
The all-female shortlist of senior academics includes Professor of Engineering and the Arts Linda Doyle; Professor of Ecumenics Linda Hogan; and Professor of Modern History Jane Ohlmeyer.
The three candidates left standing in the process are competing to replace Professor Patrick Prendergast when he completes his ten-year term on 31 July.
The provost is the head of the college and has overall responsibility for the academic, administrative, financial and personnel affairs of the university.
