Applications are invited for an appointment as a lecturer in Civil Engineering, School of Engineering at the University of Galway. 

University of Galway seeks to appoint an outstanding individual with established expertise to capitalise upon and strengthen University of Galway’s international position in construction practice, surveying, building information modelling and digital construction, project management and related areas. This specific role will contribute to the University’s leadership in Civil Engineering and deliver upon our commitment to ensure our graduates are equipped with the latest innovative technologies in the Civil Engineering sector. The role will also enhance the University’s research capacity in the application of these tools to the construction, operation and maintenance of Civil Engineering infrastructure that can include water resources, wastewater and hydraulic infrastructure, transport infrastructure, buildings etc. 

There are many exciting opportunities to leverage the growth of 3D digitisation, modern construction and surveying practices, digital twins and related fields to ensure the efficient and sustainable design, construction and operations of infrastructure and buildings. Furthermore, there is an ever-increasing amount and variety of data being collected from infrastructure projects that is underutilised. Such data will become increasingly relevant as we design and plan infrastructure that meets society’s needs, is carbon efficient and is resilient to future challenges including climate change. Examples include, but are not limited to, water resources, wastewater and storm infrastructure, hydraulic structures, faster construction of low-carbon buildings and infrastructure and data-driven project management. 

The successful candidate will make significant contributions to teaching, research, student project supervision, and programme administration across undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in Civil Engineering and the School of Engineering. In recent years, the School of Engineering at University of Galway have developed a suite of postgraduate courses and micro-credentials in civil engineering and construction innovation, equipping learners with key knowledge and skills in civil and environmental engineering, digital adoption, sustainability in the built environment and modern methods of construction. 

It is expected that the appointee will develop an outstanding research programme, working with colleagues across the School of Engineering, relevant academic disciplines and research institutes. Civil Engineering has active clusters in hydraulics, water and wastewater engineering, geotechnical engineering, structural engineering, coastal/offshore engineering, transport and construction. Civil Engineering hosts Construct Innovate, Ireland’s national research centre for construction technology and innovation, which collaborates with over 90 construction companies. Academic staff from Civil Engineering are active within the Ryan Institute which focuses on sustainability research and innovation. The successful candidate will be expected to apply for major funding awards, for example from the European Research Council (ERC), Research Ireland and Horizon Europe, and will develop national and international collaborations with academia and industry . The new appointee will be expected to disseminate their work through high quality peer-reviewed journals, high-impact conferences, and workshops. 

University of Galway is an equal opportunities employer. The University of Galway has a deep commitment to equal opportunities, and in 2022, the School of Engineering was conferred with the Athena Swan Silver Award, the first time this was awarded to a school of engineering in Ireland. The School of Engineering is deeply committed to making real and lasting changes to career development in supporting and advancing women throughout the pipeline at undergraduate, graduate, postdoctoral and academic staff levels.

Project Title: Exploiting the spatial actions of metabolic and survival factors for therapeutic benefit

Applications are invited from suitably qualified candidates for a full-time, fixed-term position of Postdoctoral Researcher in the School of Biological and Chemical Sciences  at the University of Galway, Ireland.

This position is funded by Research Ireland and is available immediately to contract end date of 30th June 2028.

Information on project: 

Lipid droplets are intracellular organelles that act as energy stores in the cell. They have a unique structure, consisting of a globule of fat surrounded by a lipid monolayer. They have recently been recognized as playing a role in the life cycles of many viruses, acting as sites for viral assembly and replication. One example of this is dengue virus, responsible for dengue fever. This is endemic in the global south and due to climate change becoming increasing a global threat, with over 4 billion people at risk. There is, therefore, an urgent need for detailed molecular understanding of the dengue virus lifecycle to inform on devising new pathways for tackling infections.

Position Summary

Researchers from the School of Pharmacy are seeking qualified candidates to pursue a 36-month fully funded PhD Studentship in University College Cork (UCC), Ireland. Successful candidates will be part of a highly motivated team that will use modern computational methods to develop critical medicines for improving global health and equality.

For low-income populations in developing countries access to life-saving medicines is often fraught with obstacles. These include a lack of financial incentive for major pharmaceutical companies to develop such medicines, as well as lack of technical expertise and resources of local manufacturers to navigate the rigorous process of bringing these drugs to market. 

To address this issue a team from the School of Pharmacy, UCC, led by the Professor of Pharmaceutics, Brendan Griffin is aiming to develop Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning tools that can accelerate the creation of medicines for conditions that disproportionately affect those in developing countries, such as malaria and other tropical diseases. These tools will be made freely accessible via an open-source, web-based platform, ensuring that this technology can be leveraged worldwide. This ambitious project aligns to the UCC Futures thematic areas of Future Medicines and AI & Data Analytics. Successful candidates will gain experience developing computational tools to support a rational and science-based approach to selecting formulations for critical medicines in developing countries. 

Key tasks in the PhD Studentship include: 

• Investigation of stability requirements and chemical space of critical drug molecules which address global health inequalities. 
• Develop computational tools with highest applicability for drug molecules which address global health inequalities. 
• Complete in vitro small-scale screening experiments to inform and validate the utility of the computational models.
• Complete PhD credits as per structured PhD program requirements as set out by University College Cork. 

Start Date (Planned): Negotiable

Salary/Stipend: €25,000 (plus fees). 

Applications are invited from suitably qualified candidates for the following position:

Research Centre - School of Physical Sciences

Post title - Postdoctoral Researcher AI-enhanced control of electronic behaviour in two-dimensional materials
