About this position

University College Dublin is advertising a temporary 12-month Post-doctoral Research Fellow Level 1 position in the School of Biosystems and Food Engineering.

The project focuses on using artificial intelligence (AI) to improve a plastic pretreatment framework that combines advanced sensing technologies, process modelling, and optimisation strategies to make plastic waste more suitable for microbial fermentation.

This is a research-focused postdoctoral role supported by research training and development under the supervision of a Principal Investigator. The advertised salary is €47,273 per annum.

Eligibility notes: the PD1 level is intended for early-stage researchers, typically just after PhD completion or for those entering a new area for the first time. Applicants who have already completed PD1 at UCD, are close to completing PD1, or whose total postdoctoral experience would exceed 4 years including this post should not apply.

The closing date is 16 October 2026 at 12:00 noon local Irish time. Applications must be submitted through the vacancy page before the deadline; late applications are automatically cancelled.
