Experience in orchard management, plant physiology, or crop modelling is highly desirable. Candidates must demonstrate self-motivation, excellent organizational skills, and an eagerness to develop advanced technical expertise.

The successful candidate will work under the expert guidance of Dr. Alberto Ramos Luz (Teagasc) and Dr. Syed Bilal Hussain (UCD), contributing to groundbreaking research in apple production. Our benefits package includes:
