The Science Foundation Ireland funded ADAPT research centre has expertise in artificial Intelligence, digital content technologies, education and public engagement, data and technology governance and technology ethics. ADAPT is collaborating with Dublin City Council on a 2-year project to develop a Digital Twin ecosystem in Dublin.  The goal is to ensure that the adoption of Digital Twin technologies meets the needs both of the city, and of the citizens who interact with it, by trialing and scaling not just technology deployments, but also new processes of public engagement.

This is an academic research 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.

The primary purpose of the role is to further develop your research skills and competences, including the processes of publication in peer-reviewed academic publications, the development of funding proposals, the mentorship of graduate students along with the opportunity to develop your skills in research led teaching.

The successful candidate will work alongside an existing ADAPT postdoc and have regular engagement with the project PI, Professor Aphra Kerr from UCD.

Appointment on the above range will be dependent upon qualifications and experience.

Closing date: 12:00 noon (local Irish time) on 21st of November 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.
