I think you do need to be a EU resident though. - I applied to Maynooth and was also confused about whether EU citizenship or Irish residency was a requirement.

Nothing here either (05/25) Have you seen that the due date on Interfolio has changed? (now 05/25). -Not sure if that's a good or a bad sign though.... - I can picture them flooded with applications. I mean... - I contacted them. I was told that dates for interviews would be known by early June. Good luck everyone! - Thanks for sharing :) / 06/01: Contacted for interview. / I also applied to AUP but did not receive any email for a job interview yesterday. I guess it's over. Did anyone else receive an email yesterday? / Another friend of mine did as well. 06/08: They were ideally looking for someone already present in the EU so I would be curious to know where those who received interview requests are based... / I am in France but my friend is based in the US. / 06/10: Invited for Campus Visit. Lucky you! / OFFER MADE (06/28)
