Applications are invited from suitably qualified candidates for a Part-time (0.6), fixed-term Postdoctoral Researcher position  with the  School of Political Science and Sociology at the University of Galway, Ireland.

The University is committed to embracing opportunities for hybrid working, to build a more dynamic, agile and responsive University, while sustaining strong standards of teaching, learning, research and high levels of productivity. The University will continue to be the primary workplace for all staff, however individual hybrid arrangement requests can be reviewed with the Line Manager in conjunction with the University Hybrid Working Policy.

This position is funded by Research Ireland and is available from September 1st, 2025, to the contract end date of September 1st, 2026.

Overview of the Project:

Growing scientific research talent requires technical training, material resources, and nurturing researchers' social well-being. Robust evidence highlights the importance of a conducive social, legal, and economic environment to recruit new talented workers, enhance their training and facilitate their employment progression. Thus, this Science Foundation Ireland (SFI) funded investigation will explore these factors alongside the workplace factors necessary to achieve an equitable and socially beneficial research talent pipeline and researcher career progression in Ireland, Denmark, and Singapore. Qualitative oral history interviews will capture the lived experiences of Postdoctoral researchers working in Biotechnology, Digital Technology and Energy Engineering. 12 Value Stream Maps will document the existing research talent pipelines across different fields and nations. These annotated maps will illuminate the constraints and blockages within the pipelines, paying particular attention to aspects of gender, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and disciplinary differences. Finally, two training events will be held in Ireland with visits from our international academic experts delivering a public lecture regarding science policy research, an expert seminar in relation to a specific topic related to the project, and one-to-one visits with PhD students and Postdoctoral staff within science policy research. Robust, actionable recommendations to be made to organisations and postdoctoral managers. The research will be a comparative, cross-national community study conducted in Ireland, Denmark and Singapore. The main form of data collection will be mixed biographical interviews, combining unstructured and formal elements, connected within genealogical support networks.

The research team is composed of Dr Ingrid Holme, Dr Alexander Sting at the University of Galway, Prof. Pat O'Connor (UL), Prof. Susi Geiger (UCD), Dr Shane O'Donnell (UCD), Dr Jennifer Keenahan (WITS), Prof. Jane Calvert (The University of Edinburgh) and Dr. Conor Douglas (York University).

We are seeking a post-doctoral researcher, to be based in Galway, with experience in multi-method research to work on the design and implementation of research data collection, management and analysis for the “TPTP” and collect data in Ireland, Denmark and Singapore, including unstructured life narratives and structured life histories. Working closely with all members of the TPTP research team, the post-doctoral researcher will play a key role in the day-to-day running of the study.  This will include project administration, carrying out the agreed methodology, and supporting drafting and editing of journal papers and policy reports.

Salary: Postdoctoral Researcher salary scale €46,305- €59,063 per annum, (subject to the project’s funding limitations), and pro rata for shorter and/or part-time contracts.

The default position for all new public sector appointments is the 1st point of the salary scale. This may be reviewed, and consideration afforded to appointment at a higher point on the payscale (subject to the project’s funding limitations), where evidence of prior years’ equivalent experience is accepted in determining placement on the scale above point 1, subject to the maximum of the scale.
