The Mission of the Department is to ‘to lead, enable and regulate the sector in a way that optimises its contribution to social, economic, and environmental sustainability, ensuring food safety, public health and animal health and welfare’. ABOUT THE ROLE The Veterinary Research Officer is a professional veterinary grade in the Civil Service. The laboratories of the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (DAFM) currently comprise of seven laboratory divisions (Pathology, Bacteriology and Parasitology; Virology; Regional Veterinary Laboratories (RVLs); Food Microbiology, Food Chemistry and Plant Sciences) located within a central laboratory complex at Backweston and at other sites around the country. Research Officers may be assigned to work in one of the central laboratory divisions (Pathology, Bacteriology and Parasitology, Virology or Food Microbiology) or in one of the RVLs. The Laboratories support the Department in implementing official controls in respect of animal health, plant health, food safety and the safety of animal feed. The Laboratories also provide for the diagnosis and investigation of diseases of farmed animals. This enables the early recognition of new/emerging and World Organisation of Animal Health (WOAH)-listed diseases and the surveillance & monitoring of the patterns and frequencies of endemic diseases (including zoonotic diseases). The Laboratories undertake applied research and development work in support of DAFM’s one health policies and as appropriate, its publication. Research Officers may be assigned to a diagnostic and investigative role where the officer will be required to have a working knowledge of a range of laboratory-based diagnostic disciplines and to become competent in the post-mortem examination of farmed animals and in on-farm animal disease investigation. Officers may also be encouraged to develop a specialist interest in non-laboratory-based disciplines that are identified by laboratory management as priorities to support the diagnostic and surveillance functions of the service. Alternatively, and particularly within central laboratory divisions, Research Officers may be required to focus on a more specific discipline (e.g. anatomical pathology, bacteriology, virology, veterinary public health, veterinary risk assessment etc.) or sector (e.g. pigs, poultry, equidae, etc.), developing in-depth expertise and providing technical advice, risk assessment, investigative and supportive role to RVL colleagues, other DAFM Divisions, the livestock and agrifood sectors. Research officers may be required to partake in or assist with laboratory contingency response, planning, training and the provision of scientific or clinical opinion and other laboratory supports in the investigation of suspect food safety incidents or disease detections in animals including for suspect WOAH-listed diseases. In all of these posts, the successful candidates are expected to function as members of close-knit multi-disciplinary teams, this requires good interpersonal skills, flexibility, adaptability and a positive and enthusiastic approach to collaboration within the team and with colleagues in other teams and divisions.
