Senior Post-Doctoral Researcher – Navigate Project

We are seeking a Senior Post-Doctoral Researcher with significant experience in marine law, policy and governance to apply their knowledge of marine governance to a wide range of transdisciplinary research projects aimed at sustainable use of the Ireland’s marine resources. The candidate will undertake research focussed on the Marine Institute funded Navigate project, on Ocean Law and Marine Governance. The Navigate project aims to support and enable efficient and effective governance of the Irish marine area through a focused research programme. This research covers a number of key themes that addresses, for example, the implications of Brexit for Irish marine management; climate-proofing national and sectoral strategies for marine resources; implementation of the Marine Strategy Framework Directive and Maritime Spatial Planning and achieving overall policy coherence from design to implementation across sectors. The Navigate project facilitates proactive engagement with emerging developments in marine law and governance; strengthens national capacity in marine law and ocean governance; and delivers on national policy objectives such as those contained in the Programme for Government, Climate Action Plan and the National Marine Planning Framework. The objective of this role is to conduct and support the delivery of research on specific aspects of marine environmental planning and management, generally and with respect to both traditional and emerging marine sectors. Research outcomes will support the overall objectives of the Navigate project and the production of peer-reviewed publications. The successful candidate will work within the Coastal and Marine Systems Research Area of MaREI, a multi-disciplinary group conducting research on the themes of climate, marine and energy.
