Job Details
Applications are invited for a Temporary (up to 1st December 2024 with possible extension) post of a Post-doctoral Research Fellow Level 1 or 2 within UCD School of Civil Engineering.
Railways constitute a major portion of transport infrastructure in most countries (about 20% of European freight transport and about 10% of passenger transport). A key component of such networks is the implementation of a more effective pre-emptive maintenance strategy which would reduce the disruption to service due to unscheduled maintenance and renewal cost to a manageable level which will have significant economical and societal impacts for the users.
This project will bring the latest advances in machine learning from computer science into structural health monitoring and railway engineering to develop an innovative solution for railway infrastructure assessment and maintenance. It will employ inexpensive, frequent and widely available data measured on in-service trains to monitor railway track condition.
This is a research focused role, where you will conduct a specified programme of research supported by research training and development under the supervision and direction of a Principal Investigator.
Post Doc Level 1 or 2 Salary Scale: €44,347 - €52,193 per annum.
Appointment on the above range will be dependent upon qualifications and experience.
Closing date: 12:00 noon (local Irish time) on the 24th of June 2024.
Applications must be submitted by the closing date and time specified. Any applications which are still in progress at the closing time of 12:00 noon (Local Irish Time) on the specified closing date will be cancelled automatically by the system. UCD are unable to accept late applications.
UCD do not require assistance from Recruitment Agencies. Any CV's submitted by Recruitment Agencies will be returned.
The PD1 position is intended for early stage researchers, either just after completion of a PhD or for someone entering a new area for the first time. If you have already completed your PD1 stage in UCD or will soon complete a PD1, or you are an external applicant whose total Postdoctoral experience, inclusive of the duration of the advertised post, would exceed 4 years, you should not apply and should refer to PD2 posts instead.
The PD2 post is intended for researchers that have completed PD1. As with the PD1, if you have already completed your PD2 stage in UCD or will soon complete a PD2, or your total Postdoctoral experience, inclusive of the duration of the advertised post, would exceed 6 years, you should not apply and should refer to Research Fellow posts instead.
