We are seeking a Post-Doctoral Research Fellow to join our team based at University College Dublin in the School of Civil Engineering. 

The successful candidate will develop new monitoring strategies and rapid response indicators to inform the implementation of appropriate restoration measures for improving ecological water quality in our rivers and streams, in line with the goals of the EU Water Framework Directive. 

Specific objectives of the role include determining the nature, level (location, spatial extent) of interventions needed for measurable improvements in river water quality; identifying the factors which influence the timeline of system recovery; identifying ecological indicators of success (including biodiversity assessment), and developing guidance to support river resource managers in implementing monitoring strategies that can best inform the deployment of restoration measures.

We are seeking a PhD student to join our team at Dublin City University. 

The successful person will work on a project that aims to understand how certain communities of interest – rural, farming, fishing, border, and coastal communities – think about environmental issues by analysing the media they consume and create. The project looks at social media content created by individuals, organisations, and other relevant entities in order to examine how environmental issues are constructed, both textually and visually.

Deadline: May 1, 2025
