The researcher will contribute to the NURTURE project (Navigating and Understanding the Relational, Team-based, and Unit-level Resources that Enable Exceptional Maternity Care), led by Professor Paul O'Connor. Funded by the Health Research Board, the project is available from 1 January 2027.
NURTURE applies Safety-II and positive-deviance approaches to investigate why maternity care goes well, particularly during complex and high-risk births. Research activities will include qualitative interviews with maternity staff and mothers, simulation-based research, co-design workshops, data analysis, and dissemination of findings. The work aims to identify behaviours, teamwork practices, and organisational conditions that support exceptional maternity care and patient safety in Ireland.
The salary scale is €47,273–€60,250 per annum, subject to project funding limitations. The appointment is normally made at the first point of the scale, although relevant prior equivalent experience may be considered.
Applicants should consult the full job description for essential requirements and submit their application by 17:00 Irish Time on 11 November 2026.
