As well as holding the Chair of Latin, she is a Fellow and Public Orator at Trinity College Dublin, where she also convenes the 'Manuscript, Book, and Print Cultures' research theme. Her other academic appointments include positions as an invited Visiting Scholar at All Souls College, Oxford (2008) and visiting scientist at the Scuola Normale Superiore, Pisa (2012); she is a member of the international Ancient European Languages And Writings research group and is a Consulting Editor for the Bryn Mawr Classical Review.
Chahoud's research interests include fragmentary early Latin texts (especially satire), the transmission of these texts from antiquity to the early modern period, Latin linguistic registers, and the interaction between literary and spoken language. Her most important publications in these fields include C. Lucili Reliquiarum concordantiae (1998) and Colloquial and Literary Latin (co-edited with Eleanor Dickey); as of 2019, she is working on a new edition and the first English-language commentary of Lucilius' satires and on a Loeb Classical Library collection of fragmentary satire, political invective and popular verse.
