Postdoctoral Fellowships in Met Éireann
Met Éireann, a line division of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, is seeking expressions of interests in the following research fellowships, which will commence as soon as possible. The following is a description of the roles to be recruited for.
Postdoctoral Researcher - Improving Met Éireann’s dispersion modelling for animal, human and plant health and safety. (Fixed term Contract)
Met Éireann, a line division of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, is seeking expressions of interests in a research fellowship, which will commence as soon as possible. The following is a description of the role to be recruited for.
The postdoctoral researcher will work to improve Met Éireann’s dispersion modelling capabilities and facilitate the development of new state-of-the-art dispersion modelling applications using the best methods and software available. The project will use dispersion models and readily available meteorological data to build forecast capacity for a range of airborne particles which can affect animal, plant and human health, including bioaerosols.
Outcomes from this proposal will assist the government in forecasting the impact of incidents highlighted in Ireland’s Strategic Emergency Management Plan (SEM), including infectious diseases for animals, contamination of animal feedstuffs, nuclear accidents/incidents/events abroad, radioactive contamination, environmental pollution, fire, and volcanic eruptions impacting Ireland.

Postdoctoral Researcher – Future Weather: An Investigation of Storm Scenarios for Ireland (Fixed term Contract)
Met Éireann, a line division of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, is seeking expressions of interests in a research fellowship, which will commence as soon as possible. The following is a description of the role to be recruited for.
The goal of this project is to investigate the dynamics of post-tropical cyclones, such as Storms Ophelia and Lorenzo, and to quantify how these dynamics and the associated impacts on Ireland may change in a future warmer climate.
The Researcher will work in collaboration with Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) and climate modelling colleagues, and use the operational HARMONIE-AROME model to carry out case studies of historical storms such as Ophelia and Lorenzo. An emerging framework for studying such extreme events and their changing impacts is the so-called “future weather” framework, whereby prescribed climatic forcings are used with high-resolution NWP models to stress-test meteorological events under physically-plausible scenarios. The Researcher will use this framework to study these storms in a warmer climate and to assess the changes in their associated impacts on Ireland.

Postdoctoral Researcher – Numerical Weather Prediction at Hectometric Scale (Fixed term Contract)
Met Éireann, a line division of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, is seeking expressions of interests in a research fellowship, which will commence as soon as possible. The following is a description of the role to be recruited for.
The Researcher will work in collaboration with the NWP team at Met Éireann and international colleagues to contribute to research and developments in very high-resolution modelling. This work will address some of the challenges facing forecast models running at horizontal resolutions on the order of one hundred metres. These include the scientific performance and configuration of the model itself along with the need for very high-resolution observations, for both assimilating and forecast verification.
