Postdoctoral Researcher - Low Carbon Futures and Energy Efficiency for Disadvantaged Communities and SMEs

The MOBILISE project, in partnership with Traveller stakeholders and relevant local authorities, will produce a roadmap to energy efficiency improvements and practical solutions for mobile homes. The roadmap will identify barriers as well as readily deployable solutions to increase the efficiency of mobile homes. The project will further implement a demonstrable process to ensure extensive education and knowledge transfer on relevant energy efficiency approaches to the targeted groups and the wider targeted Irish use cases where mobile dwellings are considered to meet urgent accommodation needs (e.g. use of mobiles for housing displaced individuals and asylum seekers).

The appointed Postdoctoral researcher will contribute to the technical and situational review production, designing and executing research plans and finalise the implementation of retrofit solutions to mobile homes test units on site in the Sligo campus. The successful candidate will also contribute to the communication of research findings in high quality peer-reviewed papers.
