Position Summary
Applications are invited for the position of Research Assistant in DAFM-funded ARID project - Assessing the impact of changing climate on clover-pollinator interactions in Irish grasslands.
In this 7-month project we will investigate the phenology (flowering time) and pollen development (viability and quantity) of red and white clover in mixed-species grass swards, across a range of Irish locations with distinct climate variables (e.g., soil water content, temperature, rainfall). In parallel, we will assess the diversity and activity of insect pollinators in these mixed swards and in their adjacent habitats. The Research Assistant will support the MSc and PD fellows in field work during the year 2 of this project. The RA will participate in data collection (e.g., air and soil temperature, soil moisture, plant/pollinator interactions).
Previous experience in plant biology and/or ecology is desirable. Experience in fieldwork and data collection would be desirable. Candidates are required to have a valid driver’s license.
