Maynooth University is committed to a strategy in which the primary University goals of excellent research and scholarship and outstanding education are interlinked and equally valued.

The postdoctoral researchers will work on phase 1 and 2 of the project and will principally undertake the research for four case studies, including their preparation, fieldwork, analysis, and creation of their associated data stories, including coordination with the assigned creative writer/artist, as well aiding the organisation of exhibitions, and archiving and documenting the project. They will have experience of handling administrative datasets, using a variety of qualitative methods, and preferably familiarity with creative and artistic methods.
