Job description

Applications are invited for a temporary post of a UCD Post-doctoral Research Fellow Level 1 or 2 within UCD School of Veterinary MedicineReference no – 017177A Postdoctoral Researcher is required to support research activity in the field of dairy systems research.It is widely recognised that grass-based systems offer a competitive advantage and will predominate in Ireland. However, grazing systems that have been developed to utilise large quantities of grazed grass have in the main been based on low-output per cow. In this scenario, high levels of profitability are possible through avid cost control and comparatively high stocking rates for grazing systems. There are now reasons to consider the development of grazing systems that are based on high-output per cow including concerns about increasing dairy cow numbers and environmental emissions, facilitating farm expansion for land limited and fragmented farms and lack of available skilled labour on farms. The rationale for this research is that a high output grass-based spring milk production system can be profitable when built on a foundation of good grassland management and meeting both milk and fertility targets and has a place in a sustainable Irish dairy industry.This is a research focused role, where you will conduct a specified programme of research supported by research training and development under the supervision and direction of a Principal Investigator.The primary purpose of the role is to further develop your research skills and competences, including the processes of publication in peer-reviewed academic publications, the development of funding proposals, the mentorship of graduate students along with the opportunity to develop your skills in research led teaching.The position is based at UCD Lyons Farm and the successful candidate will join a dynamic team investigating the development of a sustainable high output grass based spring milk production system.PD1 : Salary: € €42,783 – € €49,177
