Location: Food Research Centre, Teagasc, Ashtown, Dublin 15, D15 KN3K or Teagasc Athenry Co. Galway

Technologist

Salary: Technologist Grade 1 with a Salary Scale of €42,921 to €81,218

Closing Date: 04/08/2026 12:00 PM

Funded Full Time

Job Summary

Duration:

Temporary externally funded non Grant-in-Aid contract post, the indicative duration of which is 17 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:

We wish to recruit a dynamic and suitably-qualified technologist to facilitate and conduct multi-actor workshops on developing co-creation technical guidelines and policy recommendations, drawing on insights from other relevant WPs as part of the Horizon Europe NUTRITIVE project. Specifically, the appointed candidate will develop a multi-actor workshop protocol, facilitate multi-actor workshops for the Irish farming case study, and assist other partners in ensuring the validated protocol is implemented across different case studies. They will also draft scientific and technical reports on co-creation technical guidelines and policy recommendations for promoting various manure management practices/technologies to reduce pollutants along the manure management chain across five EU case studies (Ireland, Italy, Spain, Germany, Belgium).

This work will include the development of a well-validated multi-actor workshop protocol, drawing on key findings from other tasks (enablers and barriers to on-farm adoption), as well as the implementation of workshops in Ireland and the analysis of qualitative data from the facilitation of co-creation of technical guidelines and policy recommendations applicable to each case study. The successful candidate will also assist partner organisations in conducting multi-actor workshops. The appointed candidate will work as part of a transdisciplinary, European-based team to support the development of European and national agri-environmental policy based on scientific evidence. Moreover, this research will support the work of the Teagasc Climate Centre.

Background:

The Technologist will be a member of the Rural Economy and Development Programme (REDP) within the Agri-food Business and Spatial Analysis (AFBSA) Department at Teagasc. AFBSA is recognised as a leading centre for research in the social and behavioural sciences and spatial analysis. The department plays a key role in the Teagasc Climate Centre, applying advanced social and behavioural science research to understand farm-level climate adaptation and mitigation behaviours. This research supports the development and implementation of tailored, evidence-based policies and knowledge exchange initiatives that encourage behaviour change at the farm level.

Teagasc Ashtown Food Research Centre is home to approximately 235 staff and postgraduate students across seven departments on its 28-acre campus. The campus includes a Conference and Training Centre featuring eight meeting rooms, a tiered lecture theatre, a science laboratory, breakout spaces, and a large canteen.’

Sustainable agricultural development is at the forefront of European policy. Among the different agricultural sectors, livestock plays an essential role in the supply of global food and contributes positively to economic development. However, there are increasing environmental concerns associated with livestock farming, due to its significant contribution to air, soil, and water pollution.

A key area of attention to reduce environmental emissions from livestock farming is the manure management chain. Strategies can be implemented at all steps, from feeding, housing, handling, collection, treatment, storage to application, to optimise farm nutrient cycling and mitigate environmental impacts. Despite major advancements in developing innovative solutions to improve manure management, more research is needed to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of implementing them at the farm level.

This research will implement a mixed-methods approach to explore the motivations and barriers to adopt various manure management practices/technologies at the farm level. Recommendations will be drawn for policy and extension services. Results will feed into the decision-support system developed as part of the Nutritive project.

More information about the Nutritive project can be found at the following link: https://nutritive.es/.
