Patricia O'Lynn was elected last year as an MLA for North Antrim
The 33-year-old will leave her role at the end of March to take up a new position at Queen's University Belfast.
Her win secured Alliance a historic victory at the expense of the DUP in party founder Rev Ian Paisley's North Antrim heartland. "Nevertheless, it has been a privilege and I will continue representing my constituents fully while I remain in the role. I thank every person who voted for me and for Alliance locally in previous years and assure them they will continue to be represented by my successor.
"It is undoubtedly a difficult and uncertain time for many in politics due to the ongoing impasse. Patricia will be hugely missed but I am confident Alliance will continue to build on its recent superb results across North Antrim and on the sterling work Patricia has carried out as an advocate for a united community there.
