About this position

University College Dublin is advertising a Post-doctoral Research Fellow Level 1 in the School of Mechanical and Materials Engineering, linked to the Centre of Micro/nano Manufacturing Technology (MNMT-Dublin).

The project is a government-funded research role focused on high-precision manufacturing for optical and bio-medical applications. Research topics include ultra-precision machining, micro/nano fabrication, and nanometric surface finishing, with applications in optical imaging, visual optics, and biomedical implants.

This is a research-focused postdoctoral appointment with training and development under the supervision of a Principal Investigator. The position is intended for early-stage researchers, typically those just after PhD completion or moving into a new area for the first time. Applicants with prior PD1 experience at UCD, those about to complete PD1, or those whose total postdoctoral experience would exceed 4 years should not apply.

The post is fixed-term until 31 October 2028 and is scheduled to commence on 4 January 2027. Salary is listed at €47,273–€53,925 per annum, depending on qualifications and experience.
