The project will involve a team of researchers based in UCD researching the national Irish context, initially using biographical interview methods. For more information: https://www.ucd.ie/research/news/2025/ucdexpertsawardedercadvancedgrantsforcutting-edgeresearch/ Fixed Salary: €46,805 Per Annum Closing date: 12:00 noon (local Irish time) on 20 March 2026.
