Research Support Officer – MAGICA

The MaREI Centre is headquartered in the ERI and includes 13 other academic institutions, as well as industrial partners. It combines the expertise of a wide range of research groups and industry partners, with the shared mission of solving the main scientific, technical and socio-economic challenges across the climate, energy and marine spaces. Researchers in the MaREI Centre have over 30 years of experience in conducting fundamental and applied research supported by competitively won national and international funding, and commercial contracts with government agencies and industry. MaREI’s strengths lie in the multi-disciplinary nature of its research teams, allowing it to combine insights across a number of thematic areas (see www.marei.ie for more information).

This role provides the opportunity to join an exciting transdisciplinary team of researchers in MaREI, and to work at a pan-European scale to deliver an innovative programme of research. The candidate should have relevant experience and knowledge of both physical and societal aspects of climate adaptation and coastal ecosystems, as well as risk perception, governance mechanisms, stakeholder/community engagement and the European policy landscape. Candidates should have a track record in working in project-based environments, and preferably be familiar with the European funding ecosystem. They will be self-motivated with ability to conduct independent research to a very high level and will be expected to contribute to the development of new research efforts, grants, and publications. The appointee will have significant experience of working with diverse teams including external actors.
