About this position
Technological University Dublin (TU Dublin), in collaboration with Teagasc, is advertising a fully funded PhD in Multi-Trait Wood Quality Characterisation to support tree breeding of Irish-grown softwoods and hardwoods.
The project is based in the Wood and Bio-based Materials Research Group (WBMRG), School of Architecture, Building and Environment (SABE), and is part of the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine-funded ResilientForests project.
Research topics include wood quality phenotyping (density, strength, chemical composition), high-resolution genomic analysis, and identifying genetic trade-offs for early, balanced tree selection. The work is aimed at developing climate-resilient, productive forests.
Eligible applicants should have a strong background in Forest Engineering, Wood Science and Engineering, Plant Breeding, or a related discipline. Experience with experimental design, fieldwork, and statistical analysis is highly desirable.
Funding includes a €25,000 annual stipend for 48 months, with EU tuition fees, materials, and travel fully covered.
The closing date is 14 August 2026. Interested candidates should review the full project details on the TU Dublin PhD project page and apply before the deadline.
