The School of Languages, Literatures and Cultures, University College Cork and Literature Ireland, in partnership with Nano Nagle Place, seek applications from French literary translators for a residential bursary in Cork. This is an opportunity for a translator to travel to Ireland and live and work in Cork City.
In early 2025, a bursary of twelve weeks' duration will be awarded to a French literary translator working on the translation of a contemporary Irish writer.
The residency will include travel and living expenses, accommodation at Nano Nagle Place and a work space at University College Cork. The residential bursary will commence at the end of January and run through April 2025.
The successful candidate will be asked to work on their translation-in-progress, to immerse themselves in Cork’s rich literary and cultural life, to contribute to research activity in Translation Studies at UCC, and to hold one public event near the end of their stay, focusing on their translation work.
Applications should include:
