UCC wishes to appoint an experienced academic to the role of Lecturer in Plant Biology. Reporting to the Head of School, the appointee will be required to develop and teach modules as part of the undergraduate and postgraduate curricula and to develop an innovative research programme in Plant Biology. Research interests will complement those of the School, but expertise in crop quality, plant secondary metabolites, novel crops and/or crop ecology and sustainability will be especially valuable, particularly when studied using modern molecular-genetic approaches. However, all areas of expertise in Plant Sciences will be considered. Applicants must be research active, demonstrating evidence of peer-reviewed publications, and the potential to establish or further develop a research programme attracting external funding with collaborative links nationally and internationally. In addition experience of innovative e-learning methods that could be applied within the School would be beneficial.

BEES is a highly research-active school comprising 21 academic staff and more than 100 researchers, including postdoctoral researchers. BEES also has strong links to the University’s Environmental Research Institute (ERI) (eri.ucc.ie) and industry. We offer a number of highly regarded taught undergraduate and postgraduate degree programmes, including a BSc in Applied Plant Biology, as well as contributing to inter-disciplinary degree programmes in the University.

Please note that Garda vetting and/or an international police clearance check may form part of the selection process.
