About this position
University College Dublin is advertising a temporary fixed-term post-doctoral research fellow position (Level 1 or 2) in the UCD School of Veterinary Medicine, working with the UCD School of Mathematics and Statistics on a cross-border project focused on epidemiological modelling for the sustainable control of bovine tuberculosis on the Island of Ireland.
The successful candidate will develop and implement mechanistic and statistical modelling tools as part of a strongly interdisciplinary team. The research is aimed at improving how interventions are targeted to control tuberculosis in Irish cattle, combining veterinary science, infectious disease modelling, mathematics, and statistics.
This is a postdoctoral opening rather than a PhD or master's opportunity. The post is offered on a 3-year fixed-term basis, with salary scales of €47,273–€53,925 per annum or €55,399–€60,250 per annum depending on level, qualifications, and experience.
Eligibility is framed around UCD postdoctoral progression rules: PD1 is intended for early-stage researchers, typically just after PhD completion or when entering a new area, while PD2 is for researchers who have completed PD1. Applicants should check the experience limits noted in the advert before applying.
The closing date is 11 November 2026 at 12:00 noon local Irish time. Applications must be submitted online via the vacancy page before the deadline; late applications are not accepted.
