Job Description Duration: Temporary Post-Doctoral Appointment. This is an externally funded non Grant-in-Aid contract post, the indicative duration of which is 30 months, subject to contract. A panel may be formed from which future similar vacancies may be filled; such a panel will remain active for a maximum period of 12 months. Basic Function: Teagasc, in collaboration with South East Technology University (SETU), is seeking to recruit an enthusiastic, ambitious post-doctoral researcher to an EU funded position (HEAL), the aim of which is to assess the ecological, environmental and economic impacts of utilising novel and conventional forage species for animal agriculture in Ireland and across Europe. The successful candidate will be responsible for conducting high-quality research investigating the impact of using legume crops either in rotation with, or as an alternative to long-term grass only swards in grazing and conservation forage scenarios. The candidate will also assist in the development of a model, using data generated in Ireland and across Europe, to assess the economic impacts at farm level. The position will be based at Teagasc, Animal and Grassland Research and Innovation centre, Moorepark, Fermoy, which is Ireland's leading dairy research institute. Background: HEAL, which is a multi-stakeholder transdisciplinary research project working in six European countries, aims to form a collaborative partnership between farmers, researchers and other stakeholders in order to promote targeted agro-ecological measures. Field trials will be carried out on a network of commercial farms to assess the contribution of short rotation crops, specifically red clover and maize, to Irish dairy farms, and to evaluate the use of red clover in grassland silage production under reduced nitrogen fertiliser compared to conventional grass only silage production. A model will be developed to quantify long term effect of rotation length, yield and forage quality on farm profit. The model which will utilize data generated as part of the project, both in Ireland and by other the European research partners, will subsequently be validated to assess the ecological, environmental and economic impacts of incorporating crops such as red clover on farm. In line with the objectives of the Climate Action Plan, Teagasc is seeking to recruit a Post-Doctoral Fellow to evaluate the use of mixed grass and clover swards as a means of reducing chemical nitrogen inputs on farms, with a further focus on providing an assessment of the economic contribution of red clover to Irish dairy farms.

Basic Function: The appointed research officer will join the Agricultural Economics & Farm Surveys Department within Teagasc and will work on the AgNav project funded by the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine. Teagasc, Bord Bia and ICBF are collaborating to create AgNav, a farmer-centric sustainability platform which utilises the three agencies' collective knowledge, data, support tools and other resources, to enable delivery against Climate Action Plan targets for the agri sector. Teagasc is seeking to recruit a contract research officer to work of the development of the economic modelling component of AgNav. The successful candidate will be responsible for modelling economic returns to different agricultural systems by using data contained with the AgNav platform in conjunction with data from the Teagasc National Farm Survey. This will then form the basis of cost-effectiveness assessment of a range of different greenhouse gas based mitigation measures. This position offers a significant opportunity to support and accelerate the development of the AgNav platform working across the research and Knowledge Transfer directorate of Teagasc. Background: Teagasc is one of the key actors in facilitating the sustainable development of the Irish agricultural sector as set out in Food Vision 2030. The vision aims to position Ireland as a world leader in sustainable food systems over the next decade, delivering benefits for the Irish agri-food sector, society and environment. The Climate Action and Low Carbon Development Act commits agriculture to reduce greenhouse gas emission by 25% by 2030 based on 2018 levels. In response to targets set in the Water Framework Directive the Irish government has also published a Water Action Plan to improve water quality and resort aquatic ecosystems. In that context there is a need to increase adoption of measures at farm level to reduce greenhouse gases emissions and nutrient loss, and increase carbon sequestration.
