Dublin, Ireland University College Dublin (UCD) Full time

Applications are invited for a temporary post of a UCD Post-doctoral Research Fellow Level 1 within UCD School of Mechanical and Materials Engineering. As part of Phase 2 of the Research Ireland Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre, I-Form ( applications are invited for a Post-doctoral Research Fellow position in the area of design for Metal Additive Manufacturing. This project is part of I-Form Platform 3 and its major goal is to develop a suite of advanced software tools that will assist designers and engineers in both part design and the configuration of additive manufacturing process using Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning technologies. The project will lead to the development of an advanced AM Design toolbox capable of considering all design and process constraints and parameters. This will help reduce the number of design iterations and builds, as well as minimise the post-processing of the produced parts, while ensuring all requirements related to the mechanical properties of the produced parts are met. The project will involve the integration of the developed tools with commercial Computer Aided Design and Manufacturing (CAD / CAM) platforms, enabling designers and manufacturing engineers to explore alternative design and process configurations. The project is expected to deliver novel, state-of-the-art tools that are expected to contribute to more sustainable production of complex parts and assemblies. Applications are sought from outstanding candidates for a position commencing in January 2026. The position will involve significant interaction with other academic, research and industrial organisations. Applications are sought from excellent postdoctoral researchers who are active in the areas of Mechanical / Electrical / Electronic / Industrial / Control / Software Engineering and a background in some, or all, of the below areas: Metal Additive Manufacturing processes, Designing and simulating mechanical parts and assemblies using Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Engineering (CAE) tools, Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM), Sensorial systems used in Metal Additive Manufacturing, Programming languages, such as MATLAB, Python, C++, Java. More information: PD1 Salary: €46,305 - €50,168 Per Annum Appointment on the above range will be dependent upon qualifications and experience. Closing date: 12:00 noon (local Irish time) on the 20th of November 2025. Applications must be submitted by the closing date and time specified. Any applications which are still in progress at the closing time of 12:00 noon (Local Irish Time) on the specified closing date will be cancelled automatically by the system. UCD are unable to accept late applications. UCD do not require assistance from Recruitment Agencies. Any CVs submitted by Recruitment Agencies will be returned. The PD1 position is intended for early stage researchers, either just after completion of a PhD or for someone entering a new area for the first time. If you have already completed your PD1 stage in UCD or will soon complete a PD1, or you are an external applicant whose total Postdoctoral experience, inclusive of the duration of the advertised post, would exceed 4 years, you should not apply and should refer to PD2 posts instead.
