We are seeking an experienced postdoctoral researcher to join the interdisciplinary project CLiME — Tackling Climate Misinformation in Ireland — led by Dr Brenda McNally and co-supervised by Professor Karyn Morrissey. The project explores how climate policy misinformation is produced and circulated through strategic political communication, particularly in elite discourses about decarbonising agriculture.

The researcher will analyse political, and interest group discourses and collaborate on co-producing recommendations for journalists and communications practitioners as well as media and education policy. You will contribute to stakeholder-facing resources and engage with a dynamic team including a PhD researcher and an international advisory board.

This is an exciting opportunity for a postdoctoral researcher with 3–4 years of experience and a background in critical climate communication, political communication, and/or misinformation studies. The role includes publication support, research-led teaching development, stakeholder engagement, and opportunities for training and international collaboration.

Candidates must hold a PhD and demonstrate expertise in qualitative or mixed methods research. Familiarity with Irish/EU climate policy or media systems is desirable.
