[DMANET] Postdoctoral Fellowship at DCU

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:
https://research.ie/funding/goipd/?f=postdoctoral.

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@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.
