UCD Post-doctoral Research Fellow Level 1, School of Computer Science, Temporary 18 months post
Applications are invited for a temporary post of a Post-doctoral Research Fellow Level 1 within the School of Computer Science
ÉireOcean-TWIN is a multidisciplinary research project that will deliver Ireland's first AI-enhanced Digital Twin of marine and coastal systems, establishing a next-generation platform for ocean data analytics, prediction, and decision support. The project integrates diverse marine datasets, including Earth Observation, seabed mapping, oceanographic observations, meteorological information, and numerical model outputs, into a dynamic, cloud-based Digital Twin capable of simulating Ireland's marine and coastal environment in four dimensions.
The research at University College Dublin (UCD) focuses on the development of advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), GeoAI, and Digital Twin technologies to enable intelligent analysis of large-scale heterogeneous marine data. The project aims to develop scalable AI models for predicting coastal flooding, marine heatwaves, and other ocean processes, while integrating data from multiple national and European sources into a unified, interoperable platform. The Digital Twin will support scenario-based analysis, uncertainty-aware forecasting, and interactive decision-support tools for climate adaptation, marine spatial planning, offshore renewable energy, coastal resilience, and sustainable management of Ireland's marine environment.
PD1 Salary Range: €47,273 - €52,513 per annum
Appointment on the above range will be dependent upon qualifications and experience.
Closing date: 12:00 noon (local Irish time) on 9 September 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.
