POSITION SUMMARY

Applications are invited for the role of Research Assistant at the Centre for Resilience and Business Continuity (CRBC) within Cork University Business School.

The entire project is designed as a phased project, where the journey from concept to final outcome is a step-by-step process driven by user feedback.
The candidates appointed to these Research Assistant positions will be expected to support the PI on all UCC deliverables for the project and in the publication of papers from the DYNAMO outputs and related projects (feeding into the DYNAMO project).
