4-year Funded Ethnographic PhD Opportunity (with University College Cork) to study and theorise nightwork in the context of the Irish Nighttime Economy and politics of marginality.

Vacancy Description

Summary: Applications are invited for a PhD student/researcher to work with the Principal Investigator based at the University College Cork in the Department of Sociology and Criminology, on the international project NIGHTWORK_FOOTPRINT: A Synthesis of Contemporary CapitalismS Across Nightshift Cities. 

This is a four year position fully funded by the Research Ireland 2024 Pathways Programme.

Background and Objectives

Offer description:

We are looking for a potential PhD student/researcher to work with the Principal Investigator based at the University College Cork in the Department of Sociology and Criminology, on an international project funded by the Research Ireland Pathways Programme 2024 call. 

NIGHTWORK_FOOTPRINT analyses the paradigm shifts that have led to the normalisation of the nightshift how they took place, developed, and changed across temporal frontiers and political systems. The PI and the PhD will, examine political systems, in the Eastern (PI) and Western (PI & PhD) Europe, to question the historical course across time and space that has led to the colonisation of the night and the normalisation of nightwork. To achieve this objective, the project will hire the PhD to study Irish nightwork spaces in two sub-sectors: nightlife/recreation and travel/tourism and provide insights into the organisation of nighttime labour in the Republic of ‘Ireland and/or Northern Ireland’. 

This fully funded doctoral research will focus on the Irish Nighttime Economy (NE) with a specific emphasis on the politics of marginality and the invisibility of night workers, exploring political structures and temporal regimes. The researcher will be expected to conduct ethnographic fieldwork at night focused on ir-/regular, un-/registered workers, locals and migrants, women and men (e.g. nightlife and tourism hospitality workers). 

Throughout the four years of funding, the successful candidate will also be expected to engage with relevant community organisations and subjects involved in the NE, with the support of the project PI and PhD co-supervisor. 

This project seeks to understand the subtle dynamics behind the expansion of NE in today’s capitalism(-s). Moreover, the aims are to question if nightwork has a ‘pro socialist’ or ‘pro capitalist’ agenda or if it subscribes to both Western and non-Western types of capitalism, from its rise of ‘modern capitalism’ to its contemporary global transformations.

The PhD candidate’s research will focus on workers in one city in the Republic of ‘Ireland and/or Northern Ireland’ for a period up to one year. Based on this in-depth ethnographic fieldwork of the NE and interacting with night, urban and migration theory, the project will theorise forms of nightwork, as fundamental in feeding nations, maintaining of cities, and in the strategic role of carrying the NE infrastructures onto the nightworkers’ bodies.

The PI and his mentor, and the PhD will be based at the University of College Cork in one of the largest and most interdisciplinary Departments in Ireland. Under the umbrella of UCC Futures – Collective Social Futures, the Department of Sociology and Criminology is home to multiple national and international projects and research teams working on issues of contemporary theoretical and social importance. This globally networked interdisciplinary platform will become the home of the successful PhD candidate, and welcome them to a collegiate community committed to advancing on issues of high relevance through social research that is policy – oriented and has impact.

Job description

The PhD researcher will – under co-supervision by the PI and his Mentor, and support from the project collaborators – immerse into the night to investigate nighttime urban dynamics, and in particularly focus on the re-occurring issues that impede access to nightwork and to decent working conditions for all people working at night, in the context of the Irish NE. 

The PI is an experienced night ethnographer, and the Mentor is an experienced researcher and supervisor. The PhD will benefit immensely from their co-supervision and additionally, from the project collaborators. The PhD researcher will also be provided with in-house training and opportunities to acquire new skills and competencies to become an autonomous post-doctoral researcher.

We are seeking to appoint a highly motivated PhD candidate, who will engage thoroughly with the project's groundbreaking field to: 

  • Independently and effectively carve out this investigation’s segment on Irish NE; and link it to migration, urban and social theory literature on the industrial modernity’s capitalism(-s);
  • Engage social theory and night ethnography in relation to the project themes in dialogue with the fieldwork;
  • Through conversations with the PI and Mentor, as well as the support of project’ advisors, take initiative to develop and conduct in-depth, immersive, full-time ethnographic field research at night, with some relation to its embodied and reflexive aspects;
    Contribute bottom-up, build-on theory to critique, and develop social theory from the context of in-depth fieldwork;
  • Actively seek to innovate collaborative research and dissemination activities – including graphic recording, as well as multi-modal (cyber, sonic and visual) fieldwork; and
  • Write and publish social science scholarship from the research – some of which may be co-authored, all of which will be in English.

Post-Doctoral Researcher/Senior Post-Doctoral Researcher School of Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences, and the Environmental Research Institute

Document
Candidate Brief _3.pdf3.85 MB
Vacancy Description

Applications are invited for the role of Post-Doctoral Researcher or Senior Post-Doctoral Researcher within the School of Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences and the

Environmental Research Institute. This position can be filled at either Post-Doctoral or Senior Post-Doctoral Researcher level, depending on qualification and experience of the successful candidate.

Applications are invited for the post of Postdoctoral Researcher or Senior Postdoctoral Researcher in our team on the Just Transition project: Demonstrating high value commercial bio-products at a circular IMTA site (CIRC_IMTA_DEMO). The CIRC_IMTA_DEMO project is an ambitious, commercially focused, interdisciplinary bioeconomy project centered on a peatland-based integrated, multitrophic (IMTA) fish farm in the Irish Midlands. 

The position focuses on duckweed cultivation and stakeholder engagement. Internationally, there has been strong interest in the development of Lemnaceae (Duckweed sp.) biomass as a source of plant protein, and as a replacement of soybean in feeds. Rapid growth, high protein content and a desirable amino acid profile are amongst the key features that make duckweed species promising candidates as a native protein source for Ireland.

The key tasks of the Postdoctoral/Senior Postdoctoral Researcher are to optimise outdoor duckweed cultivation on wastewater produced by aquaculture activities, and to develop a vibrant programme of training and engagement activities for stakeholders. Excellent networking and communication skills are essential.

The Postdoctoral/Senior Postdoctoral Researcher will be based in the Irish Midlands and needs to be highly independent, creative and self-motivated. Good technical skills and a valid driving licence (EU or Ireland) are essential.

Due to the remote location of the UCC laboratory in Mt Lucas (Co. Offaly), a full driving licence issued in Ireland, UK, EU or a recognised state is essential.

Achievement of the expected progression within Post Doc and Senior Post Doc is transferable between the Irish HEI’s.  This can be reflected in the starting pay of a PD researcher.  Similarly, as the PD scheme is an intergenerational training scheme completion of PD1 or PD 2 levels in one HEI will normally render that researcher ineligible for appointment at a similar level in another Irish HEIResearcher Career Development Framework | Irish Universities Association
