Offer Description
Applications are invited for a temporary post of a Post-doctoral Research Fellow Level 1 or Level 2 within UCD School of Biosystems and Food Engineering.
Applications are invited from enthusiastic and talented individuals for a post-doctorate research position which will contribute to research project on moments of stress during active travel.
Are you data scientist with an interest in using wearable sensor technologies to monitor stresses experienced by commuter cyclists in urban environments?
If you are please read on as this is a great opportunity to join an interdisciplinary team that is attempting to improve the urban cycling experience for adults and children.
"Transforming how we travel", i.e. a modal shift to sustainable transport, is one of six vital high impact sectors listed in the Irish government's Climate Action Plan 2023. A modal shift to increase cycling, which is a form of active and sustainable travel, is important not just for the green transition, but also for the health, sustainability and liveability of urban and rural communities in Ireland. However, to support more cycling journeys, suitable cycling infrastructure is necessary. This is especially important for school routes, as research suggests that cycling to school may lead to a lifelong behaviour routine. One of the major factors determining a modal shift to cycling is perceived road safety. However, the perceived safety of specific cycling infrastructure is often unknown. Recent advances in wearable technologies allow a number of physiological biomarkers of stress to be measured continuously. These biomarkers can be used to identify moments of stress, which can be correlated to the location and surroundings of an individual during a cycling trip. The aim of the SHIFT project is to measure moments of stress in cyclists to provide insights on the impact of cycling infrastructure and traffic on perceived road safety.
PD1 Salary Range: €43,908 - €50,302 Per Annum
PD2 Salary Range:€51,677 - €54,642 Per Annum
Appointment on the above range will be dependent upon qualifications and experience.

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.
The PD2 post is intended for researchers that have completed PD1. As with the PD1, if you have already completed your PD2 stage in UCD or will soon complete a PD2, or your total Postdoctoral experience, inclusive of the duration of the advertised post, would exceed 6 years, you should not apply and should refer to Research Fellow posts instead.
