Position Summary

The Post-Doctoral Researcher required to work alongside an innovative team led by Professor Leahy-Warren in the School of Nursing and Midwifery in the Maternal and Infant Health Research Team.

Achievement of the expected progression within Post Doc and Senior Post Doc is transferable between the Irish HEI’s. This can be reflected in the starting pay of a PD researcher. Similarly, as the PD scheme is an intergenerational training scheme completion of PD1 or PD 2 levels in one HEI will normally render that researcher ineligible for appointment at a similar level in another Irish HEI Researcher Career Development Framework | Irish Universities Association
