Ref.: 536197 Work type: Full-time Department: Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, School of Clinical Medicine (20900) Categories: Senior Research Staff & Post-doctoral Fellow Applications are invited for appointment as Post-doctoral Fellow in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, School of Clinical Medicine (Ref.:536197) (to commence as soon as possible for three years, with the possibility of renewal subject to funding availability and satisfactory performance) Postdoctoral Fellowship in Nutritional Epidemiology We are seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Fellow to join our research team in nutritional epidemiology, with a focus on dietary patterns, lifestyle monitoring, and health outcomes in large populations. Applicants must hold a doctoral degree (Ph.D.) in Nutritional Epidemiology or a related field, with substantial experience in dietary analysis, epidemiologic study design, big data handling, and dietary pattern deduction. They must demonstrate proven expertise in nutritional epidemiology, particularly in linking dietary pattern identification to health outcomes, and preference will be given to those with specialized experience in diet and health research in large population cohorts. The appointee is expected to demonstrate both independent research capabilities and effective team collaboration, manage ongoing research projects on lifestyle monitoring and intervention, publish original research articles in high-impact journals, assist PIs in writing external competitive grants, and develop their own SEED funding applications. This position offers excellent mentorship and access to large-scale cohort data in a collaborative research environment.  A highly competitive salary commensurate with qualifications and experience will be offered, in addition to annual leave and medical benefits. The University only accepts online application for the above post. Applicants should apply online and upload an up-to-date C.V., with the contact information of at least 2 referees. Review of applications will start from May 22, 2026 and continue until May 29, 2026, or until the posts are filled, whichever is earlier.

The Co-Centre for Climate+ Biodiversity+ Water is seeking to recruit an experienced and motivated Research Fellow to play an active role as part of a new research team at Queen's University Belfast. The Co-Centre is an exciting new tri-jurisdictional initiative spanning Northern Ireland, Great Britain and the Republic of Ireland, which is managed jointly by QUB and Trinity College Dublin and funded by the Science Foundation Ireland (SFI), DAERA and UKRI. The Co-Centre is the home of research, innovation, and policy development across the interlinked challenges of climate change, biodiversity loss, and water degradation on the islands of Ireland and Britain, with the goal of integrating research across both islands to address these crises. This Research Fellowship will contribute mainly to a project on projecting biodiversity change. In this project we aim to forecast global vegetation responses driven by climate, land use, and traits, and apply these projections to enable population risk forecasting. We will apply the Global Warming Levels and "storyline" climate projections produced for Ireland and the UK with our biodiversity models to project effects of these new projections on the types of species that will occur under these new climatic conditions and their dynamics. There is a possibility to look at animal responses in addition to vegetation. The post will be part of the School of Biological Sciences at QUB but will work as part of a multi-disciplinary and inclusive team based in the dedicated Co-Centre Hub. The successful candidate will have responsibilities in independent research, supervision, planning, collaborations, and outreach. About the person The successful candidate must have, and our application should clearly demonstrate that you meet the following essential criteria: Hold or be about to obtain a PhD* (*obtained within 3 months of commencement of employment) in ecology or related field. Have substantial relevant research experience in (at least some of the following): GIS; geospatial modelling; ecological modelling; land use change and/or climate change impacts. Demonstrable evidence of experience and skills in: data analysis, report writing and/or peer-reviewed publication. To be successful at shortlisting stage, please ensure you clearly evidence in your application how you meet the essential and, where applicable, desirable criteria listed in the Candidate Information on our website. This post is available for 2 years or until 31 December 2029, whichever is soonest. Fixed term contract posts are available for the stated period in the first instance but in particular circumstances may be renewed or made permanent subject to availability of funding.
