Each candidate must have been nominated by 12 members of the College's electorate in order to qualify for the 10-year long role. The election will take place later this year in April with the new Provost to take up office at the start of August.
What exactly does the Provost do? According to the TCD website:
"The Provost is the Chief Officer of the university responsible to the Board and ultimately to the State for the performance of the university."
Patrick Prendergast is the current President and Provost for Trinity College.
