Dublin jobs: AMBER to create 350 new research positions at Trinity College Dublin

AMBER, the Research Centre for Advanced Materials and Bioengineering Research at Trinity College Dublin, has announced that it will create 350 new research positions over the next six years.

The second phase of the centre was launched on Monday and will be delivered with the help of €40 million in international research funding between 2019 and 2025.

During phase one of the centre between 2013 and 2019, AMBER generated 14,279 jobs nationwide.

These jobs were in sectors such as biomedicine, pharmaceutical, energy and ICT.

The work of AMBER sees new material and technology created to minimise environmental impact while building a sustainable future.

The aim of the centre is to provide solutions for current environmental problems and address what needs to be done for the future.

For example, their scientists pioneer new technology that reduce power consumption in electronic devices and data centres as well as enabling better batteries for energy storage.

The creation of the new research positions will also strongly contribute to the Government’s Future Jobs Ireland initiative by promoting interest in ICT, manufacturing technologies and energy, thereby ensuring that the economy is well positioned into the future.

Minster for Business, Enterprise, and Innovation, Heather Humphreys TD said: “The second phase of AMBER will contribute hugely to the Government’s strategy to prepare now for tomorrow’s world, through plans like Future Jobs Ireland and Project Ireland 2040.

"The work done by AMBER previously has helped position Ireland as a world leader in research, further strengthening our global credibility across a number of different sectors.”

Professor Mick Morris, Director of AMBER, said: “As part of AMBER’s second phase, the centre will demonstrate significant impacts which will benefit individuals, communities, organisations and society both in Ireland and around the world.

"We will do this by delivering world-class materials science research and forming strategic alliances with industry, as well as significant collaborations with leading academics and clinicians.

"The quality of our scientific research is critical for AMBER in attracting and sustaining long term engagements with industry, providing a skilled workforce competing for non-exchequer funding and tackling global challenges.”
