[Job-offers-cs] Postdoctoral Fellowship at DCU

[Pekka Orponen]

The Irish Research Council is expected to open applications to its 
postdoctoral fellowship programme soon. These fellowships will last one 
or two years starting in September 2026. Applicants have to write their 
own research proposal and name an academic mentor at the Irish 
institution they would be based at. For more information about the 
fellowships see here for last year's call:

Natalie Behague is joining Dublin City University as an Assistant 
Professor in January, and is interested in acting as a mentor for one or 
possibly two postdoctoral fellows through this scheme. Natalie works in 
extremal or probabilistic combinatorics and more information can be 
found on her website https://nb453.user.srcf.net/ If you work in 
extremal or probabilistic combinatorics and are interested in applying 
for a fellowship based at DCU with Natalie as mentor, please email a CV 
and a research proposal to natalie.behague at warwick.ac.uk by 29th August. 
At this stage the research proposal does not need to be in the format of 
the final application, nor in as much detail, but it should address the 
following points:

- Please provide details of your proposed research, to include aims, 
objectives and central research questions;

- Please describe the research design and methodologies that will be 
used as part of your research project. These should be described in 
sufficient detail so as to demonstrate your understanding of the 
research topic;

- Please provide a schedule to include (a) milestones and deliverables 
for completion of the proposed fellowship, (b) risks that might endanger 
achieving these deliverables and (c) the contingency plans to be put in 
place in order to mitigate these risks;

- Please describe how the proposal relates to existing research in this 
area. Suggest how the project will make a new contribution to knowledge.
