This post has the goal of carrying out preliminary analyses serving as foundations for a novel interdisciplinary project connecting the computer science and neuroscience fields. The successful candidate will carry out research on natural language processing (NLP) models and on electroencephalography (EEG). NLP analyses will be conducted on large text datasets with models such as GPT. EEG signals will be analysed using machine learning methodologies developed by the hosting lab. The successful candidate would join a team of 5 other people (the PI and 4 PhD students) and would be invited to participate in the weekly lab meetings and other lab activities. The team carries out research in the area of auditory neuroscience, with a focus on speech and music perception. Application Procedure Applicants should submit a full Curriculum Vitae to include the names and contact details of 2 referees (including email addresses), to the PI, Giovanni Di Liberto (gdiliber@tcd.ie).

In 2022, the Virtual Record Treasury of Ireland launched the Knowledge Graph for Irish History. This is now live as part of the Virtual Record Treasury of Ireland: https://virtualtreasury.ie/knowledge-graph. In the current phase of the project, the role of the Knowledge Graph Postdoctoral Researcher will be in the development of novel tools and approaches to support historians and others, interact, edit and engage with the Knowledge Graph in support of their research objectives. Given that interacting with Knowledge Graphs by non-knowledge engineers is still an under-researched topic, there is significant opportunity for contributions and impact to be made in the Knowledge Graph research community through this role. Informal enquiries about this post should be made by e-mail to: Mr Theo Little (theo.little@adaptcentre.ie) Full details available at:

Applications are invited for one Trinity Doctoral Research Award based in School of Computer Science and Statistics, with an associated stipend of €25,000 p.a. and fees write-down for the four years (full-time) of a Structured PhD programme / research doctorate. Candidates can only apply for this stipend through an academic staff member willing to support their application and supervise them for the duration of the award. School deadline is May 29th, so please contact your preferred supervisor well in advance in order for them to conduct required interviews and prepare application materials. The award is very competitive, therefore the minimum requirement is a 2.1 honors (or equivalent) undergraduate degree and a distinction (or equivalent) MSc degree. Candidates without an MSc or with lower grade degrees will not be considered. Further information and details at the following link:

We are seeking a PhD Researcher in Statistics as part of the Marie-Curie Doctoral Network ‘LegumeLegacy’ (https://legumelegacy.scss.tcd.ie/).

Project details: Wearable sensors provide a continuous and unobtrusive way to monitor an individual’s health and well-being in their daily lives. This project involves working on the cutting-edge of cluster analysis methods for sensor data. Different from traditional machine learning methods (for multivariate data), we will develop functional data clustering methods, motivated by the fact that sensor data can be naturally modelled by curves that denote continuous functions of time. You will be supervised by Dr Mimi Zhang (primary supervisor) and Dr. Shirley Coyle (co-supervisor). More information can be found here (Code: 2023TCD07): https://d-real.ie/d-real-2023-phd-topics/#2023TCD06. Salary: Each student who is admitted to this programme will receive a full scholarship to undertake a four-year structured PhD programme. This scholarship comprises full payment of university fees for four years and a tax-free stipend of €19,000 per annum for four years. In addition, a generous budget for conference travel, equipment, training, placement maintenance and publication costs is provided. Candidate description: A Bachelor’s degree in statistics, math, computer science, or closely related subjects is required. The candidate is expected to have a sound theoretical and practical knowledge on statistics, as well as strengths in programming. How to apply: Our D-REAL centre will collect all the applications.
