This position forms part of a collaboration between Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council (DLRCoCo) and University College Dublin (UCD) to support innovative community engagement, participatory planning, and evidence-based approaches to the future development of Loughlinstown. The project combines academic expertise, digital technologies, stakeholder participation, and research-led teaching to generate evidence on community needs and aspirations that will inform future planning and regeneration initiatives. It is particularly timely given the forthcoming Loughlinstown 50 celebrations in 2027, the preparation of the Loughlinstown Linear Park Masterplan, and a range of ongoing initiatives led by DLRCoCo across the area. The project builds on UCD's internationally recognised work in geodesign and participatory planning, including the successful Dundrum by Design initiative (https://dundrumbydesign.ie).

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.
