Professor Marguerite Nyhan would like to invite applications for a fully funded Postdoctoral research position within the "Environmental Intelligence" project and the Sustainable Futures Lab.
The project firstly focuses on advancing the science underpinning sustainable, healthy and liveable cities of the future.
This frontier research employs largescale digital datasets, artificial intelligence and statistical methods to quantify urban environmental metrics (e.g. emissions, air pollution and greenspace) and urban dynamics in unprecedented accuracy and scale in several cities.
The project will inform urban design, urban environmental policies and climate action plans.
The candidate will also support the development and delivery of research-driven sustainability and climate curriculums and educational resources.
Candidate Profile
A PhD in environmental engineering, computer science, data science or similar
Highly motivated, detail orientated and committed with a keen interest in creative and multidisciplinary research
Significant experience in data analytics, statistics and/or urban analytics
Experience in urban environmental sustainability, urban environmental policy and environmental education is advantageous but not essential

Achievement of the expected progression within Post Doc and Senior Post Doc is transferable between the Irish HEI's.
This can be reflected in the starting pay of a PD researcher.
Similarly, as the PD scheme is an intergenerational training scheme completion of PD1 or PD 2 levels in one HEI will normally render that researcher ineligible for appointment at a similar level in another Irish HEI Researcher Career Development Framework | Irish Universities Association
