Thrive: Trinity College Dublin's Strategic Plan 2025 - 2030
Post Summary
The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (TILDA) is in the field of Wave 8 of data collection and is seeking qualified nurses who wish to contribute to a well-established study with a strong reputation for producing high-quality, policy relevant research on ageing. The TILDA Research Nurse Manager will be responsible for overseeing a team of nurses and health practitioners in the collection of objective measures of cardiovascular, cognitive function, mobility, bone health, vision, hearing, anthropometry and biological samples from the TILDA participants, managing all tasks associated with collecting data on all heath assessment measures. The role will involve a range of clinical and research duties including training, quality control, adherence to research targets and nurse management. Most health assessments will take place in a dedicated health assessment centre in Trinity College Dublin, however some participants will require a home-based assessment, thus requiring nurses to travel to participants’ homes. Dynamic, flexible nurses with a strong clinical skill set and experience managing people are invited to apply for this position. They will join a vibrant inter-disciplinary team - including epidemiologists, biostatisticians, economists, social scientists, biomedical engineers and clinicians - working toward the promotion of successful ageing. This post will provide detailed insights into how and why ageing research is conducted, the principles of data collection, and how health, social and economic circumstances influence the ageing process.
The successful applicant will be expected to take up post on 01 September 2026.
Please note that Garda vetting will be sought in respect of individuals who come under consideration for a post.
