The RCSI School of Population Health is looking to transform the way that population-level data and research platforms are deployed in Ireland to make key decisions for prevention and reduction of chronic disease burden.
To this end, we have established a new research centre Converge: Centre for Chronic Disease and Population Health Research which will attract, inspire and shape the careers of a new generation of leaders, scientists and practitioners engaged in the development of new integrated, population-level models, methodologies and interventions for complex, multimorbidity conditions.
The Centre is led by Prof Edward Gregg as part of a Science Foundation Ireland-funded Research Professorship Grant and promises to be a significant and exciting development in population health research. Researchers in this new Centre will work with a national and international team of partners and collaborators to deliver outputs and impact to policy makers worldwide, with essential data to prioritise specific interventions to specific populations to reduce the burden of chronic diseases.
Successful candidates have the option to enrol on the SPHeRE Programme www.sphereprogramme.ie which will provide a valuable peer-to-peer learning and support structure.
In addition, the SFI-funded scholarships will provide:
- Additional skills training & dissemination allowance (up to €1,500 per year)
- Annual stipend of €22,000 (4 yrs)
- Laptop computer & fees (4 yrs)
