University College Cork is committed to the training and development of research staff and recognises that the opportunity to teach is not only beneficial for researchers in terms of career and skills development but is also a beneficial experience for students, giving a broad exposure to a diverse academic community.

Research staff are encouraged to engage in teaching where there is opportunity, however, it is important that this engagement is managed appropriately within the context of the underlying core research role and associated responsibilities and with reference to the terms and conditions of the research funding supporting that activity. Research staff who do avail of teaching opportunities that may arise will be supported and mentored in the delivery of teaching.
