Reference: 1903595853
Post-doctoral Research Fellow Level 1, UCD School of Computer Science, 12 months
Applications are invited for a temporary post of a Post-doctoral Research Fellow Level 1 within Computer Science.
The researcher will define new data management processes, tools and models for FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable, reusable) metadata for prevention and control of healthcare acquired infections as a part of supporting antimicrobial resistance (AMR) surveillance in the era of European Health Data Spaces Regulation (EHDS). This will contribute to the development of European Health Data Spaces and a better understanding of the applications of computer science for data management in healthcare.
The researcher will collaborate with stakeholders in the HSE Antimicrobial Resistance and Infection Control (AMRIC) centre and St. James's Hospital. They will survey international best practice. Outputs will include a new open FAIR metadata model for AMR surveillance data, validated methods for applying it and high impact academic publications. The role will include supervision and mentoring of more junior researchers. The role directly reports to the PI, Dr. Rob Brennan.
Fixed Salary: €47,273 per annum.
Closing date: 12:00 noon (local Irish time) on 18/08/2026.
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.
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.
