Trinity College Dublin is seeking a highly motivated, collaborative researcher, with expertise in Natural Capital Accounting, to join the interdisciplinary Farm Zero C project.
Farm Zero C is an SFI-funded collaboration between industry and academia, which aims to deliver a range of strategies to help to create a more sustainable and resilient dairy sector.

The Farm Zero C team is led by SFI BiObic Centre and Carbery Group, with partners including University College Dublin, Trinity College Dublin, Munster Technological University Kerry, Teagasc and GRASSA B.V. The project builds on previous work at Shinagh Dairy Farm (in West Cork), as a ‘demonstrator’, and will develop tools to be deployed through a technological platform (Climate Neutral App) that will allow farmers to design climate and biodiversity strategies that best suits their needs.
Candidates must demonstrate the following:
-
Minimum 2 years experience (which may include experience gained during a Masters/PhD) in a relevant field, such as environmental sciences, agricultural ecology, ecological economics, environmental resource economics, or related discipline, with an interest in Natural Capital Accounting, and ecosystem services;
