UCD Post-doctoral Research Fellow Level 1 or 2, School of Biosystems and Food Engineering, Temporary 6 months (with possible extension)
Applications are invited for a temporary post of a UCD Post-doctoral Research Fellow Level 1 or 2 within School of Biosystems and Food Engineering.
Applications are invited for a very dynamic Post-doctoral Research Fellow Level 2 to work as part of our European Project Agroboost, with Dr Dimitrios Argyropoulos's d-Lab: Digital Agriculture & Bioresource within UCD School of Biosystems and Food Engineering. Core research topics in our lab include:
• Smart Mushroom Farming and mushroom production systems (e.g., oyster mushrooms)
• Multimodal sensing and machine vision for mushroom perception (e.g., RGB, depth, LiDAR)
• Deep learning for detection, tracking and 3D reconstruction of complex mushroom morphology
• Motion planning, control and autonomy in mushroom farms
• Robotic manipulation for mushroom harvesting
• AI-enabled decision support for sustainable mushroom farming
PD1 Salary: €47,273 - €53,925 per annum or PD2 Fixed Salary €55,399 per annum
Appointment on the above range will be dependent upon qualifications and experience.
Closing date: 12:00 noon (local Irish time) on 7th July 2026

UCD do not require assistance from Recruitment Agencies. Any CV's submitted by Recruitment Agencies will be returned.
The PD1 position is intended for early stage researchers, either just after completion of a PhD or for someone entering a new area for the first time. If you have already completed your PD1 stage in UCD or will soon complete a PD1, or you are an external applicant whose total Postdoctoral experience, inclusive of the duration of the advertised post, would exceed 4 years, you should not apply and should refer to PD2 posts instead.
or
The PD2 post is intended for researchers that have completed PD1. As with the PD1, if you have already completed your PD2 stage in UCD or will soon complete a PD2, or your total Postdoctoral experience, inclusive of the duration of the advertised post, would exceed 6 years, you should not apply and should refer to Research Fellow posts instead.
