This position is funded by Special EU Programmes Body PEACEPLUS innovation challenge ) on the Technological Revolution towards a Agri-food Circular Economy (TRACE) project. The position is available from 1st September 2025 to contract end date of 30th June 2029.
The TRACE project aims to establish a cross-border innovation hub to transform the agri-food sector in Northern Ireland (NI) and the Republic of Ireland (ROI), with a focus on the Products of Animal Origin (POAO) supply chain. By applying advanced technologies, TRACE will improve efficiency, reduce environmental impact, and strengthen cross-border trade. The POAO trade is crucial to both economies—NI's agri-food sector contributes £5bn annually and supports over 113,000 jobs. Yet, disruptions from Brexit, the pandemic, and new regulations have created bottlenecks and raised sustainability concerns. TRACE will deploy technologies like hyperspectral imaging, computer vision, IoT sensors, and blockchain to monitor food quality, safety and animal welfare in real-time and enhance transparency. AI and machine learning will analyse data from pilot sites to identify inefficiencies and opportunities. TRACE will strengthen innovation, sustainability, and competitiveness in the POAO sector, aligning with initiatives like the Shared Island Fund and City Deals, and equipping SMEs to meet future challenges.

The default position for all new public sector appointments is the 1st point of the salary scale. This may be reviewed, and consideration afforded to appointment at a higher point on the payscale (subject to the project's funding limitations), where evidence of prior years' equivalent experience is accepted in determining placement on the scale above point 1, subject to the maximum of the scale.
Closing date for receipt of applications is 17:00 (Irish Time) on 20th August 2025. It will not be possible to consider applications received after the closing date.
