Transformation of the global food system towards more sustainable and equitable outcomes is urgently needed, requiring an evidence-based food systems approach.

Our research will consider specific challenges addressing food system integrity and resilience, food safety and healthy diets from sustainable sources. Using a food systems approach, the Co-Centre will encompass a research programme of oriented basic and applied research in the areas of science, technology, engineering and social sciences across three jurisdictions - the Republic of Ireland (ROI), Northern Ireland (NI) and Great Britain (GB). It will build on the shared objectives to develop a robust, resilient and sustainable food system that meets changing consumer demands.

Salary: €44,347 - € 49,177 per annum
