The Purpose of the Role: 

We are seeking a committed and dedicated individual to join our team and contribute to the growth, delivery, and continuous improvement of the CIHS's Research, Education and Training programmes. This role includes supporting ongoing research projects, delivering Human Factors training, as well as other Continuing Professional Development (CPD) courses in areas such as Sustainability, Workplace Wellbeing, and Systemic Risk Management. Additionally, the role will contribute to teaching on our Postgraduate Certificate, Diploma, and MSc programme in Managing Risk and System Change. The ideal candidate will have expertise in at least one of the following areas, Human Factors, Risk and Safety Management, Sustainable behaviour, Workplace Wellbeing and will have a strong track record in creating and delivering training programmes across diverse industries.

Context:

Our expertise lies in applying Psychology, Human Factors, Systems Thinking, and Action Research to address and enhance operational and strategic risk, change management, safety, well-being, and long-term sustainability within safety-critical sectors. The unique contribution of the CIHS is to put the human at the Centre of its analysis – systems and processes have to work for people, and they can only do this if the role of humans is central. The approach of the CIHS encompasses all those factors that can influence people and their behaviour. The CIHS collaborates extensively with a wide range of industries, including Health, Aviation, Finance, and Pharmaceuticals, fostering long-term partnerships in research, training, and education. Additionally, our thriving alumni community from the PG Cert/Diploma/MSc in Managing Risk & System Change actively contributes to our shared mission and ongoing activities. 

The CIHS have been running a very successful STAMINA Human Factor’s training programmes over the past 20 years to a wide range of safety critical industries. The Centre was also successful in securing funding from the HEA’s Human Capital Initiative (HCI) in 2021 to support a five-year innovative, skills-led teaching initiative. From this we have been running CPD courses which provide practical and robust training for industry professionals. 

Additionally, the role includes exploring and developing new training and educational opportunities. The candidate will immerse themselves in the ongoing research activities and outputs of CIHS, integrating key findings into training programmes. Responsibilities will include updating training content, ensuring existing material is current and embedded in the latest state of the art research and relevant regulatory requirements, managing the training team, overseeing training delivery and evaluation, and maintaining ongoing coordination with industry clients. The candidate will report directly to the Head of School and Centre Co-Directors.

Maynooth University is committed to a strategy in which the primary University goals of excellent research and scholarship and outstanding education are interlinked and equally valued.

We are seeking a postdoctoral researcher to work on the INFORM project. The INFORM project is an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) funded interdisciplinary study that will assess the pre-/and post-radon concentrations following deep energy-retrofits scenarios of the large-scale national renovation strategy. 

INFORM will utilise a building physics model (CONTAM), which will be parameterised based on representative Irish data to establish baseline scenarios and assess the impacts on pre- and post-radon concentrations of different renovation strategies. These impacts will be mapped against a representative portion of the national building stock, considering a range of radon potential values, local building topographies, and national renovation strategies. A health and economic assessment will be conducted to evaluate the economic implications of these findings. 

The researcher will join an interdisciplinary team collaborating with researchers at Maynooth University, University of Galway and University College Dublin, and have the opportunity to collaborate on several other projects led by this group.
