UCD Post-doctoral Research Fellow Level 1, UCD School of Mathematics and Statistics, Fixed-term post until 28th February 2029
Applications are invited for a temporary post of a UCD Post-doctoral Research Fellow Level 1 within UCD School of Mathematics and Statistics
The QUBIC project is a strategic initiative aimed at advancing quantum computing to address critical challenges in high-impact sectors including weather forecasting and energy. The primary aim of this position is to assess the current capabilities of quantum computing for Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP), with a focus on developing hybrid quantum-classical or quantum-AI approaches. This includes:
Reviewing existing quantum algorithms relevant to fluid dynamics and atmospheric modeling.
Evaluating their compatibility with the structure and requirements of current NWP models.
Identifying potential hybrid quantum-classical or quantum-AI approaches.
Projecting short- to medium-term advances in hardware and algorithmic development for practical deployment.
Salary Range: €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 04 August 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.
UCD do not require assistance from Recruitment Agencies. Any CV's submitted by Recruitment Agencies will be returned.
