Minister of State for Training, Skills and Innovation, John Halligan TD, announced an investment of €13.7 million in funding for 22 early career researchers. The awards will be funded through Science Foundation Ireland’s Career Development Award Programme, which supports Ireland’s research talent pipeline by funding excellent researchers still in the early stages of their scientific career. Two of this year’s awards are co-funded with Sustainable Energy Authority Ireland. The awards will contribute to the advancing research in areas such as energy, materials, environment, technology, and health.
Dr Conor Murphy is proud to be a recipient of an SFI Career Development Award to explore seasonal hydrological forecasting for Irelands complex hydrology.
