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.

Salary: Postdoctoral Researcher salary scale €45,846- €58,481 per annum.

Closing date for receipt of applications is 17:00 (Irish Time) on 25th July 2025. It will not be possible to consider applications received after the closing date.

Applications are invited for a 12 months post of a Research Assistant within UCD School of Agriculture and Food Science. A Research Assistant is required to support research activities in the field of beef production, animal health and behaviour and rumen function and enteric methane mitigation research. There is a dual focus to this project a) to determine the impact of sward type on rumen function and enteric methane emissions and b) to assess the impact of sward type on animal grazing behaviour and animal health. Irish livestock production systems are predominantly pasture based and until recently sown pastures have been predominantly ryegrass monocultures. Such systems, while offering many competitive advantages from a feed cost perspective have a heavy reliance on fertiliser nitrogen application with its associated economic and environmental challenges. Recent work by this team has highlighted the potential of diverse swards (Multispecies swards) to enhance animal and sward performance from lower levels of fertiliser nitrogen. This current study will quantify the impacts of diverse on enteric methane emissions of animals grazing either a ryegrass monoculture, a perennial ryegrass/white clover sward or a six species multispecies sward through an enhanced understanding of the rumen fermentation parameters of these animal cohorts. Additionally the impact of sward type on animal grazing behaviour and subsequent animal intestinal parasite burdens will be assessed using a combination of manual and sensor based measurements.

This is  an opportunity to undertake a PhD studentship that will form part of the €26million VistaMilk Phase II SFI Research Centre (https://www.vistamilk.ie), involving 13 Research Partners across Ireland, including University College Cork.

In collaboration with partners based in Teagasc Moorepark (Fermoy), the successful candidate will aid in the development of the Teagasc MoSt grass growth model:

https://www.teagasc.ie/media/website/events/2023/Update-on-the-MoSt-Gra…

Since August 2020, outputs from this model have formed part of the Farming Forecast each Sunday on RTÉ 1 by Met Éireann.

Background and objectives:

Teagasc’s MoSt grass growth model combines data from farms with weather forecasts from Met Éireann to make a weekly grass growth prediction. These data come from PastureBase Ireland, Teagasc’s online grassland database and decision support system. The 84 farms contributing to the model (nationally) are technically efficient commercial farms, and thus are not representative of the average farm.

There are two key deliverables of this PhD. The first will be the development of methods to impute grass growth for farms not currently recording enough data within PastureBase Ireland. Secondly, to encourage wider uptake and increase the accuracy of predictions, advice will be given to farms as to the minimum amount of data needed to apply the MoSt grass growth model.

The successful PhD candidate will explore augmenting currently available data with other spatiotemporal data including land-cover, soil maps, weather station and satellite data. Spatiotemporal data present multiple interesting statistical challenges: misalignment, missingness, differing and/or changing support, non-stationarity and computation to mention a few. On completion of the project, it is expected that you will be an expert in several of these areas. 

Spatiotemporal statistics (including models, mathematics and methodologies) is a rich and beautiful area of statistics/mathematics/data science. There are many application areas for spatiotemporal data analysis both within as well as beyond agricultural science, ranging from the microscopic (sub cellular / atomic) to the macroscopic (galactic / universe) scale. There will be scope in the project for tailoring your PhD journey to your research interests, subject to the key deliverables. 

Funding: 

Funding for this PhD is from VistaMilk, Phase II. This funding includes the PhD stipend and fees at EU rate and money for equipment and travel. 

Please note that non-EU students will need to pay additional fees (currently) to the value of €9,230 per annum. As part of your application, you will need to provide evidence of sufficient financial support to cover these fees for the duration of study (the next 4 years).

3-year PhD studentship: Examine Bioenergy planning requirements insights and stakeholder’s perceptions in Ireland (BioEInsights)

We invite applications for a three-year funded PhD studentship in the School of Applied Social Studies at University College Cork (UCC). This is part of BioEInsights, an SEAI-funded project led by Tyndall National Institute, that aims to develop an impactful method to engage with stakeholders on bioenergy installations to achieve the decarbonization target of Ireland’s Climate Action Plan. 

The successful applicant will work within a multidisciplinary team of social scientists in UCC and engineers in Tyndall to identify and analyse the understandings, perceptions, and concerns of stakeholders, including local communities, farmers, producers, investors, local authorities, policy makers, etc.

Funding

The PhD position is funded for 3 years. It includes a stipend of €25,000 per annum, with tuition fees covered.

The INFANT Research Centre at University College Cork (UCC) is dedicated to maternal and child health research. The overarching vision of INFANT is to advance maternal and child health translational research and to place Ireland to the forefront of this field.  INFANT is focused on delivering scientific excellence and impact through a range of activities in academic, translational and commercial areas. 

INFANT is now accepting applications for a Data Analyst with data analysis and management skills, and strong systems analysis and declarative development experience to work on the Elevate Programme. The INFANT Centre leads the ELEVATE Programme which is a 5-year programme is focused on the prevention, early detection, and treatment of brain injury and cerebral palsy (CP) in infants during the period of maximum neuroplasticity (up to 2 years of age). The ELEVATE Programme has been jointly funded by Research Ireland and the Cerebral Palsy Foundation through the SFI Strategic Partnership Programme.  

The Data Analyst will work to support a number of projects across the programme that interact with data from the Maternal and Newborn Clinical Management System (MN-CMS) - either through the analysis of this data, integration with its source systems or specification of improvements for its functionality. 

• We will use Machine Learning to identify factors in pregnancy, labour and in the early neonatal period that represent increased risks for CP. The data analyst will work with clinical experts to identify the variables required, to analyse the data extracted, to identify areas for possibly improvement in the source systems in order to specify change requests in the future. In this work, the analyst will need to be able to visualise the data for colleagues to interpret it, make recommendations on actions to improve the data and implement those changes. Skills such as extraction, transformation and loading will be necessary as well as the ability to link records.
• We will develop a database for storing existing research data on infants with CP or high-risk for CP, collected across the projects in the ELEVATE. The data analyst will specify the requirements for the research database, work with experts to define interfaces, develop the database in RedCap and work with colleagues to specify interfaces to a register for people with CP. The analyst will develop the REDCap platform to support the multiple studies in ELEVATE and ensure that the design allows for the efficient use of data across studies and between systems to minimise data capture effort and the potential for error.
• The data analyst will work with clinical anti-natal and post-natal experts to identify the ‘minimum dataset’ required to improve the data for future research studies. Specifications for change requests to the MN-CMS will be developed as well as specifications for the integration to MN-CMS. 
• The data analyst will support other colleagues across the programme with matters relating to REDCap, data analysis and machine learning.
