UCD Post-doctoral Research Fellow Level 1, UCD School Of Geography, Temporary 18 months
Applications are invited for a temporary post of a UCD Post-doctoral Research Fellow Level 1 within UCD School Of Geography
Funded by Research Ireland through the Sustainable Communities National Challenge Fund, the CONUNDRUM project aims to understand mobility issues in Irish towns and to reimagine how we could achieve more sustainable transport and mobility outside of our cities. Our purpose is to support more resilient urban areas and sustainable communities by enabling government, citizens and enterprise to work more effectively together. We do this through co-creating ideas and solutions with communities in workshops, and through upskilling and training opportunities for local authorities and other organisations. This is enabled by our platform, TownsMatter, which allows communities and local authorities to compare, share and explore opportunities and challenges related to sustainable, active and safe mobility in their towns. This is a joint project between UCD and Trinity College Dublin.
POST DOC LEVEL 1 Salary Scale: €47,273 - €53,925 Per Annum
Appointment on the above range will be dependent upon qualifications and experience.
Closing date: 12:00 noon (local Irish time) on 23-July-2026
Applications must be submitted by the closing date and time specified. Any applications which are still in progress at the closing time of 12:00 noon (Local Irish Time) on the specified closing date will be cancelled automatically by the system. UCD are unable to accept late applications.

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.
