Post-doctoral Research Fellow Level 1 - Marine ecology to underpin designation of Marine Protected Areas

University College Dublin • Dublin, County Dublin, Ireland • €45.85k - €52.34k / year • 5d ago

Applications are invited for a temporary post of a UCD Post-doctoral Research Fellow Level 1 - Marine ecology to underpin designation of Marine Protected Areaswithin UCD School of Biology and Environmental Science.

Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) are a vital and proven tool in halting and reversing the decline in biodiversity and establishing a viable long-term equilibrium in our seas and oceans. Ireland has a maritime area of approximately 470,000 km2, one of the largest in Europe. At present only approximately 9% of that area is designated for spatial protection through provisions under the EU Birds and Habitats Directives, but Ireland has firmly committed to expand its network of MPAs to meet a target of 30% coverage by 2030. This means that there is a substantial amount of exciting ecological work to be done to inform and help design and expand Ireland’s MPA network.

Salary range: €45,847 - €52,339 per annum

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

Closing date: 12:00 noon (local Irish time) on 21^st of March 2025.
