Dublin, Ireland Trinity College Dublin, The University of Dublin Full time

Post status: Specific Purpose Contract – Full Time

Location: The University of Dublin, College Green, Dublin 2, Ireland

Reports to: Professor Caroline Brophy

Hours of work: 39 hours per week

Closing Date: 17:00 (GMT) on Wednesday 27th March 2024. Late applications will be considered if the post remains unfilled.

Post summary

This position is a Postdoctoral Researcher in Statistics to collaborate on the Multi4More and LegacyNet projects. The successful candidate will support statistical analyses within the Multi4More project and will develop statistical methodologies and apply them to data from the international multi-site experiment ongoing within the LegacyNet project. The ideal candidate will have a PhD in Statistics (or similar quantitative discipline) and experience or interest in analysing ecological or agricultural data.

Summary of the Multi4More and LegacyNet projects

Multi4More aims to understand the impacts of species diversity and fertiliser application rate on multi-species grassland mixtures to enhance agronomic performance, reduce nitrous oxide emissions, and increase environmental sustainability of forage-based livestock systems under lower-nitrogen conditions. Multi4More has high potential impact with multiple stakeholders. Further details are available on the Multi4More website: multi4more.ie.

LegacyNet is an international project investigating the role of species diversity in agronomic grassland leys within crop rotations. There are 30 sites across Europe, Asia, New Zealand and Canada, and the experiment is either completed or is at an advanced stage at each site; all data collection will be finished during 2024. Further details are available on the LegacyNet website: legacynet.scss.tcd.ie.

Multi4More partners with LegacyNet, the work undertaken by the Postdoctoral Researcher will be a crucial connection between the two.

Research objectives

The Postdoctoral Researcher will develop multivariate modelling techniques for analysing multi-site data across spatial gradients and will take responsibility for multiple key analyses to be applied to the LegacyNet data. This work will include:

  • A review of current literature to identify optimal grass and legume proportions for productive grassland mixtures for multiple responses.
  • The development and application of multivariate models for observations collected across space and time in the LegacyNet international-scale network of experiments to:
    • quantify the additional contribution of increased species and functional group diversity compared to Lolium perenne monocultures, and Lolium perenne plus Trifolium repens mixtures;
    • identify the optimal grassland ley design for promoting follow-on crop outcomes; nd
    • identify optimal grass, legume, and herb proportions in grassland leys for multivariate outcomes measured across a crop rotation.

Application procedure

Applications should be compiled into a single pdf document. The pdf document should include (only) the following:

  • A maximum 2-page cover letter outlining your suitability for the post, with reference to relevant qualifications or experience.
  • Detailed curriculum vitae, including qualifications and experience, publications and the name and email contacts of two academic referees.
  • Transcripts of degrees held.

The pdf document should be emailed to Professor Caroline Brophy at caroline.brophy@tcd.ie. Do not include additional documents and do not include substantive information in the body of the email. For the subject of your email, please use: Postdoctoral Researcher application – [your surname].

Appointment will be made on the IUA Post-Doctoral Researcher pay scale at point 1 (€42,783 per annum)
