We would like to draw your attention to an opportunity for a 24-month post-doctoral research role based at the University College Dublin (UCD), Geary Institute for Public Policy.

The position offers applicants an opportunity to work with data from the European Social Survey (ESS) with the objective of analysing the ESS results for Ireland and comparing these with the results from that survey for other ESS countries. The work will centre on research related to ESS modules on welfare attitudes, justice and fairness, and job satisfaction.

The successful applicant will get to work with members of the European Social Survey National Coordination team based at UCD including Micheál Collins (PI and ESS Round 11 National Coordinator), Dorren McMahon, Mathew Creighton and Sarah Carol.

The role would be well suited to a recently completed PhD student, or a student intending to complete in the next few months, with solid data analysis skills and a strong interest in social or public policy. This is an academic research 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.
