Skilled in assessing behavioural outcomes, including communication (e.g., ultrasonic vocalizations), anxiety, memory, social behaviour, and behavioural despair in preclinical animal models. Experience using zebrafish models and/or C-section mouse models to study microbiota and brain development. Familiarity with in vitro techniques to study brain barrier integrity and cellular communication. Expertise in experimental design, data analysis, and interpretation of complex datasets, including behavioural, biochemical, and molecular data. Proficiency in measuring neuroendocrine, and neurotransmitter markers (e.g., corticosterone, serotonin, noradrenaline, GABA) using biochemical assays laboratory techniques (e.g. qRT-PCR, ELISAs assays). Ability to effectively document findings, write scientific reports, and communicate results to multidisciplinary teams or stakeholders. Understanding of microbiota-driven changes in immune, neuroendocrine, and neurotransmitter pathways that mediate microbiota-gut-brain communication (desirable). In-depth understanding of how prebiotic and probiotic interventions influence gut microbiota composition and function (desirable). Achievement of the expected progression within Post Doc and Senior Post Doc is transferable between the Irish HEI's. This can be reflected in the starting pay of a PD researcher. Similarly, as the PD scheme is an intergenerational training scheme completion of PD1 or PD 2 levels in one HEI will normally render that researcher ineligible for appointment at a similar level in another Irish HEI Researcher Career Development Framework | Irish Universities Association Please note that Garda vetting and/or an international police clearance check may form part of the selection process.

Based within the School of Engineering and Architecture, IERG develops and applies cutting-edge analytics, modelling, and decision-support methodologies that improve how energy and resources are managed in complex industrial systems. The group's research spans four core areas: the development of intelligent analytics systems for industrial energy management; the incorporation of fault detection and diagnostics (FDD) into industrial energy systems; building energy performance simulation; and the application of next-generation renewable and sustainable energy technologies to industrial processes. With a strong track record of collaboration with industry and international research partners, IERG's work underpins real-world improvements in energy performance, operational resilience, and sustainability. The group's projects combine data-driven methods, digital twins, reliability engineering, and advanced simulation to deliver solutions with tangible impact for both organisations and policy contexts UCC Sustainability Institute The Sustainability Institute, formerly the Environmental Research Institute (ERI) at University College Cork was established in 2000 as a flagship University Institute to bring together researchers to address complex global sustainability challenges using a transdisciplinary approach. The Sustainability Institute is a UCC Futures Institute. UCC Futures is an ambitious new programme of research prioritisation coupled with an innovative academic recruitment strategy across ten indicative areas of strategic importance that will build a foundation for economic, societal and cultural resilience and prosperity. The Sustainability Institute constitutes an important part of UCC's strategy to develop interdisciplinary research institutes that have a critical mass of world-class researchers in prioritised research areas to enable a more strategic approach, create an interdisciplinary research environment, develop capacity, and engage coherently with industry and society. The Sustainability Institute is recognised for its expertise in environmental, marine, energy, sustainable materials, and sustainable food research, and is focused on addressing three global environmental challenges: Climate Action, Circular Economy, and Healthy Environment. The Institute currently has over 400 researchers from 20 disciplines and incorporates a number of research centres including: MaREI Centre for Energy, Climate and Marine, Centre for Research on Atmospheric Chemistry (CRAC), the Cleaner Production and Promotion Unit (CPPU) and Centre for Law and the Environment (CLE).

Next-generation process flexibility goes far beyond the ability to switch production lines quickly; it requires the ability to embed realtime intelligence, reconfigurability, and energy-awareness into the core of manufacturing workflows, dynamically adapting to shifting conditions with enhanced human decision making. FLARE's mission is to create an adaptive, self-optimising manufacturing ecosystem where production lines can reconfigure in real-time, in collaboration with domain experts (e.g. operators, planners, designers) that are supported by digital twins, AI, and predictive analytics. Process equipment will seamlessly switch between energy sources, aligning operations with renewable availability, market demand, cost & energy efficiency. Energy-aware scheduling, self-healing control systems, and human-machine collaboration will ensure that factories remain productive, sustainable, and resilient even in the face of volatility. FLARE addresses significant challenges related to process design, system complexity and integration, flexibility vs. efficiency, holistic sustainability and investment assessment, workforce readiness and change management, focusing on multiple energy-intensive sectors, including chemical, steel and cement. Specifically, FLARE will demonstrate a significant impact on these sectors, including energy cost reductions of 10-15%, CO2 emissions reductions of 15-20%, waste reductions of 10-15%, and improved flexible response times of 10- 15 minutes. These three high-impact European example sites will act as living laboratories, creating a blueprint for the design, testing, and validation of cutting-edge tools, tailored initially for sector-specific challenges but transferable across industries. A pan-European Community of Practice will guide the work from start to finish, ensuring rapid adoption, real-world relevance, and a clear pathway from prototype to market deployment. Achievement of the expected progression within Post Doc and Senior Post Doc is transferable between the Irish HEI's. This can be reflected in the starting pay of a PD researcher.
