Five (5) of these will be monitored by UCD's School of Civil Engineering. This is a part-time, project-based role which involves working directly with stakeholders and communities on the ground, and analysing data collected from site sensors. The position will involve meetings at both the UCD campus in Belfield (D4) and site visits to Stoneybatter (D7).
