Vacancy ID: 007961
Closing Date: 06-Dec-2020

The Role

Maynooth University is committed to a strategy in which the primary University goals of excellent research and scholarship and outstanding education are interlinked and equally valued. The post-doctoral researcher will study the emerging business models and ecosystems associated with data driven advanced manufacturing.

This role will lead efforts in the study of urban-based manufacturing, that is, flexible, responsive, data driven and service driven manufacturing ecosystems existing in urban settings. Such ecosystems are dependent on technical infrastructure and standards, and non-technical aspects, such as service skills, entrepreneurial supports and policy.

The Post-Doctoral Researcher fellow will work for CONFIRM in the Innovation Value Institute / Maynooth University School of Business, in a team of postdoctoral researchers and PhD students under the supervision of Prof Brian Donnellan. The team’s research focuses on economy and innovation-related issues relating to Internet of Things (IoT) in industrial (Industry 4.0) and city (Smart Cities) environments.

The team has studies underway in:

• Living labs business models
• Urban data portal business models
• Smart district co-creation
• Urban digital strategy development
• Smart City governance
• Smart city competitiveness
• Autonomous vehicle / technology adoption

The environment is highly supportive. While each researcher works with a specific industrial partner to an agreed set of research deliverables, synergies between the various strands of research are used for everyone’s benefit. Researchers also enjoy an environment where their own personal development is encouraged and supported.
