The Centre’s team of researchers from across Ireland develop innovative science and technology to better understand the Earth’s past, present and future and how people perceive Earth resources. The Centre’s Research Programme consists of three Grand Challenges in Earth System Change, Earth Resources, and Earth Science in Society supported by five Platforms of Geophysics, Geochemistry, Geomodelling, Geosensing, and Geodata. iCRAG is hosted by University College Dublin (UCD) and brings together more than 150 researchers from UCD, Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies (DIAS), Dublin City University (DCU), Maynooth University (MU), Trinity College Dublin (TCD), University College Cork (UCC) and University of Galway (UoG). The Centre has a wide range of national and international industry partners and collaborators, and works closely with several government departments and agencies.

iCRAG wishes to recruit a Research Programme Manager on a fixed-term, full-time contract basis until December 31st 2026.

Furthermore, the Research Programme Manager will contribute to the development and implementation of the research strategy of the Centre and as a member of the Centre’s Operations Team collaborate effectively with other team members. They will be expected to work closely with iCRAG’s Business Development Manager (BDM) and Senior Grants Manager (SGM) on the identification of new opportunities for the Centre and the management of submission of proposals for calls both nationally and internationally.
