Jessica Kindler

Jessica Kindler completed a degree in Irish Studies, Theology and Religion in the late 1990s, and went on to complete a Masters in Anglo-Irish literature at Trinity College, Dublin. She worked as a Research Editor with the Dictionary of Irish Biography in Dublin before joining St John’s to embark on a DPhil in the English Faculty. One of her first postdoc appointments was to lead a project at the University of Reading to create a careers resource of interviews with arts and humanities PhD graduates from around the UK. Subsequently she moved into a role supporting the career development of Researchers in the Humanities Division at the University of Oxford and continued to work with postgrads when she moved to Ireland in 2013. Since becoming a mum she appreciates, more than ever, the collaborative and supportive connections she has with the women in her life and is delighted to be part of the St John’s Women’s Network where she leads on supporting mentoring activities.
