Specialist Recruitment: Research and Development To advertise more specialist opportunities requiring a PhD or a research skill-set, to liaise with research institutes for industry-academic collaborations or to meet directly with Postdocs across disciplines, the UCD Career Development Centre runs a specialist service for researcher careers. The Research Careers team hosts a wide range of tailored networking events right throughout the year where companies can come along and meet candidates with specialist qualifications and advanced research, dataanalytics and project management skills and experience. Start-ups, SMEs and larger companies alike are invited to get in touch and ask us more about schemes like the SFI Industry Fellowship, the Marie S. Curie Society & Enterprise call and the IRC Enterprise Partnership scheme, opportunities that support researchers across all disciplines to transition to industry while receiving a salary from the funding agency. We are happy to host focused round-table events where you can come in and speak to a specific group of PhDs about what you do and we also run events where relevant funding agencies are present to answer specific questions about schemes.
