Discussing various stages of Irish Research Council (IRC) Postgraduate and Postdoctoral Applicantions 2025

The Black Oil

Has anyone gone the employment based IRC route?

Any update?

Any update guys? I'm really stressed to wait for the round 1 outcomes!

IRSC2025

I have not had any updates. I have not tried to contact the people either. But looking at past years (which I am assuming you have done) we probably will not hear anything till mid-February :(. Or nothing at all which would be the worst!

IRCGOI2025

I heard on February 7th last year that I didn't make it to the next round, so hopefully soon.

IRSC2025

Anyone had an updates or been in contact with anyone about the first round?

SairamPV

I contacted them, but they directed me to the call document which states end of April as the call outcome deadline.

Ah they're hardly gonna make us wait till then? Surely it says somewhere about round 1? I could've sworn I read it in something

IRSC2025

From what I've seen, it all depends on the year. Previous years they have said something in February other years they have not said anything, which seems rather cruel and illogical. But I haven't seen anything specific that states "First round will be announced in Feb…"

SairamPV

I completely agree. Our best hope is to hear about the first-round decisions by the end of February. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be surprised if we’re in for a long wait until winter recedes (April end😅).

Nothing came from IRC. Feb is gone completely!

thatssori

Imagine they just don't do it and we actually have to wait and hope that the offers come out on time in April 🙃

IRC2025space

I think they have made changes to their application process. We won't get any update until April.

just heard back about stage 2 for postdoc

IRC_PhD

Hi folks,

Just created an account to get involved in this thread. Anyone else going for the GOI postgraduate, or mostly postdoc applicants here?

IRSC2025

I know we are still in early April, but has anyone tried to make contact and ask about the outcome?

Hello there, Are you in the STEM or Humanities stream? I was curious about passing scores for round 2

Nope

IRC_PhD

I was convinced it would be today 😅 the wait is killer

fobme

Round 1 for STEM postgrad was at 11am so I’ve been expecting round 2 to come early enough in the day but they could still do it today by 5. I’m still holding out hope that they don’t leave it til the last day

Chei

Any news?

Choose

Nothing yet unfortunately

IRC_PhD

I might ask my research office to send an email asking if it's pushed back to May or still likely to come.

jcphd

Let us know if you get a reply.

I’m not able to sign into the website right now. Makes me wonder if the results are being updated.

IRSC2025

can anyone else login? I’m not able to login in either

Choose

Me neither

IRC_PhD

I can login fine

Chei

I cannot login because the website is "experiencing issues with multifactor authentication"
