5 Year Fixed Term Whole-time Appointment
http://www.ucc.ie/en/hr/vacancies/academic/full-details-539672-en.html

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) (http://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.
