After completing his PhD Dr Corcoran obtained a highly competitive Irish Research Council (IRC) two year post-doctoral fellowship. This in turn contributed to him subsequently obtaining a two year European Marie Curie International Outgoing Fellowship (IOF). Marie Curie fellowships are the flagship fellowship for leading young researchers in Europe.
