2.  UCD Post-doctoral Research Fellow Level 1, School of Agriculture & Food Science, 23 months

Applications are invited for a Temporary post of a UCD Post-doctoral Research Fellow Level 1 within School of Agriculture & Food Science

This is a temporary contract position for 2 years that involves modelling of mitigation strategies involved in the Irish Marginal Abatement Cost Curve analyses using process-based models (DayCent, RothC). The models will be parameterized and calibrated, particularly in terms of climate and soil impacts, on crop and grass growth in order to better simulate Irish pedo-climatic conditions using data from Teagasc experiments. The calibrated models will be used to evaluate the impacts of land use change and management practises on carbon and nitrogen cycling, greenhouse gas emissions in particular, at the national scale. Modelled field scale emission factors will be integrated into the farm-scale modelling framework. The Postdoc will lead tasks involving the assessment of impact of mitigation strategies using process-based models and development of the national agricultural emissions model framework.

 

The successful candidate will be responsible for executing the project work at UCD, and will take the lead in data analysis and in writing progress reports, presentations and publication of findings in peer-reviewed publications.

 

The Irish Climate Action Plan 2021 has set ambitious targets to reduce national greenhouse gas emissions by 51% and agricultural emissions by 22-30% by 2030. Currently agriculture accounts for over 34% of national greenhouse gas emissions. Methane and nitrous oxide account for approx. 2/3 and 1/3 of national agricultural emissions, respectively. In addition, there are also substantial carbon sinks in Ireland that can be used to offset greenhouse gas emissions. There is, therefore, a need to a) dramatically reduce emissions and b) enhance carbon sinks associated with agriculture.

LABMACC is a newly DAFM-funded project, started in February 2022 co-ordinated by Teagasc, involving UCD as a project partner. The main aim of the project is to investigate a wide range of new agricultural measures to reduce greenhouse gas and ammonia emissions from Irish farms, which will be included in a new Marginal Abatement Cost Curve (MACC) for Irish farmers to achieve climate neutrality. Achievement of the above targets pose significant challenges for agriculture across the island of Ireland. Previous Teagasc MACC calculated the abatement potential of agriculture, land-use and agribioenergy based on 27 individual measures. This new project seeks to build on the previous MACC and quantify mitigation associated with a range of new measures that reduce nitrous oxide emissions, enhance carbon sinks via land-use and displace fossil fuel emissions via closed farm nutrient loops using enhanced production of bio-based products. It will also evaluate the economic and mitigation consequences of incorporation of abatement measures into production systems and help develop farmer decision support tools.

 

Salary: €39,522 - €45,610 per annum

Appointment on the above range will be dependent on qualifications and experience

 

Closing date: 17:00hrs (local Irish time) on 21st June 2022

3.  Associate Professor, UCD School of Medicine, Permanent

Applications are invited for a Permanent post of an Associate Professor) within UCD School of Medicine

 

Skin cancer continues to place an ever-increasing personal and health-system burden both globally and in especially in countries with a predominance of citizens with skin of low pigmentation. Skin cancer is the most common cancer in humans, with more cases diagnosed than for all other cancers combined. Keratinocyte (basal cell/squamous cell) and melanocyte (melanoma) cancers represent most skin cancers, with an annual treatment cost in the US estimated at $8.1 billion. Melanoma incidence is increasing by 4%-6% annually in fair-skinned populations, and despite accounting for only 2% of all skin cancer cases is responsible for 80% of skin cancer deaths. Ireland has the highest melanoma (men) death rates in Europe, with a ~2% lifetime risk of diagnosis. 

 

This will be the first academic position  in Ireland dedicated to skin-cancer research and will focus on building capacity in knowledge of carcinogenesis in human skin - our body’s largest and most exposed organ. UCD has a strong track record in cutaneous research, particularly since the establishment in 2011 of the only dedicated academic center for dermatologic research and education on the island of Ireland. The UCD School of Medicine, together with the UCD Charles Institute of Dermatology, has created a position for an ambitious mid-career investigator who will build a cutting-edge research programme that develops and applies modern cancer biology to human skin, to address key biomedical problems for ultimate translational / clinical solutions

 

This post is based in the Charles Institute but will also sit at the interface two sister UCD institutes; Systems Biology Ireland http://www.ucd.ie/sbi/ and Conway Institute of Biomolecular and Biomedical Research https://www.ucd.ie/conway/, as well as the wider UCD cancer researcher communities. Cancer is a strategic research area of UCD. https://www.ucd.ie/research/spotlights/cancer/

 

The position is expected to leverage a highly interdisciplinary, vibrant environment to work with clinicians, biologists, computational colleagues, and others to build a strong research programme and to contribute to educational efforts in these areas. The postholder is also expected to raise grant funding, participate in, and lead strategic research initiatives in this area, and participate in teaching and educational activities. 

 

The UCD School of Medicine (SoM, http://www.ucd.ie/medicine/) is one of Ireland’s leading medical schools within the country’s largest University.  It has an extensive portfolio of research, education and training programmes offering over 60 educational programmes, delivered by research-active academic staff within a modern health science campus and by experienced clinicians across a large clinical training network. SoM has multiple research centres (http://www.ucd.ie/medicine/ ourresearch/researchcentres/), and UCD is the lead academic partner in the Ireland East Hospital Group, the largest hospital group in the country.

 

The UCD Charles Institute of Dermatology (https://www.ucd.ie/charles/) is a multi-disciplinary academic research centre (capacity 70 researchers) engaged in the study of human skin in both health and disease states, with a focus on genetics, inflammation, wound-healing, cancer, and pigmentation science. We use innovative technologies (transcriptomics, proteomics, interactomics, metabolomics etc.) to complement state-of-the-art imaging, molecular and cellular biology approaches. Together, we aim to make meaningful advances in our understanding of how the skin, our body's largest organ, can be maintained in a healthy state and how diseases of the skin may be tackled for patient benefit

The School hosts the Irish Centre for Research in Applied Geosciences (iCRAG), a Science Foundation Ireland (SFI) research centre involving all the Irish geoscience institutions (https://www.icrag-centre.org), as well as the National Centre for Isotope Geochemistry at UCD (NCIG). We have world-class geochemistry and isotopic platforms and related clean laboratories, core handling and scanning equipment, a laser particle sizer, imaging facilities and a range of geocomputation software and hardware. Our research covers both pure and applied topics and increasingly addresses current societal challenges including the energy transition, environmental change, geohazards and access to raw materials. We continue to value field-based science alongside both computational and laboratory-based science. For further details of our research themes and recent output, see https://www.ucd.ie/earthsciences/research/ourresearchthemes/.

 

Our degree programmes reflect the evolving needs of society and industry, producing graduates with modern field, laboratory, analytical, digital and geospatial skills that are nationally and internationally highly regarded. We provide BSc (Hons), MSc and PhD degrees in Geology, in addition to taught modules across programmes in Earth Science, Environmental Science, Environmental Sustainability, Energy Systems and Risk, Resilience & Sustainability. A new MSc in Subsurface Characterisation and Geomodelling will be introduced later this year and we are keen to develop additional taught-graduate offerings.
