Additional project work can be facilitated remotely. Background NCAD DesignLabs are a series of collaborative design-led research spaces whose shared focus is on the positive impact that applied design research can have on societies, cultures, economies, and environments. NCAD DesignLabs: Civic brings together designers, researchers, public sector organisations, communities, and policymakers to advance new approaches to civic participation, public service innovation, democratic engagement, and systems transformation. Working at the intersection of research, design practice, and public sector collaboration, DesignLabs: Civic develops and evaluates design-led approaches that support more inclusive, participatory, and responsive civic systems. The Lab works across local government, community development, social innovation, and public policy contexts, engaging with diverse stakeholders to address complex societal challenges through co-design, participatory research, and design-led inquiry. Role Description The Postdoctoral Design Researcher will play a central role in shaping and delivering research within DesignLabs: Civic, working on DESIGN BRIDGES: Building Research, Innovation and Design Evidence across the UK and Ireland. Design Bridges positions design as a core driver of the creative economy in both the UK and Ireland, aligning ambitions set out in the UK's Industrial Strategy and Creative Ireland's Digital Creative Industries Roadmap. Design Bridges establishes the foundations of a UK-Ireland research and innovation network focused on design as a strategic, systems-level capability. Led by PDR at Cardiff Metropolitan University (UK) and the National College of Art and Design (Ireland), with partners at Belfast School of Art (Ulster University) and The Glasgow School of Art, the network brings together researchers, policymakers, design organisations and industry representatives across Wales, Ireland, Northern Ireland and Scotland to co- design shared agendas around design strategy, skills, policy impact and systems change. Design's role, practice and effects are changing rapidly in response to AI, circular economy imperatives and digital transformation, yet this agility is little understood or measured. Current evidence frameworks fail to capture design's embedded contribution across sectors such as digital services, manufacturing, public services and sustainability transitions. Design Bridges will generate better evidence of how design is adapting and contributing to systemic change. Design Bridges will: ● establish UK-Ireland design policy and evidence infrastructure; prototype cross-border policy learning methods between policymakers across UK and Irish jurisdictions; ● develop shared impact and evaluation measurement baselines; ● strengthen research and policy skills pipelines; ● identify priorities for future joint research and large-scale funding. The role involves balancing academic research with applied design practice, contributing to design-led, collaborative research which supports knowledge exchange, policy learning and generates new approaches to evidencing design’s value as a strategic systems-level capability. The researcher will work in active partnership across the Design Bridges consortium, including with international higher education institutions, and policy, public sector, and cultural organisation partners to facilitate collaborative exploration through co-design workshops, structured dialogue and rapid prototyping. The successful candidate will contribute to research outputs, publications, public engagement activities, and funding development. The role is based within DesignLabs: Civic, a research centre within NCAD, and operates under the supervision of the Head of Design (co-PI of Design Bridges). Key Duties and Responsibilities Research and Scholarship - Lead and execute a specified programme of design-led research and scholarship under the direction of the Design Bridges PIs - Lead defined work packages or project strands, ensuring high-quality design research outputs, delivered on time and within scope.

Team and Institutional Contribution - Actively contribute to team meetings, workshops, and knowledge exchange activities, fostering a collaborative and innovative research culture. - Engage in professional development opportunities to maintain and expand expertise in design research and public sector innovation. - Contribute to broader research, scholarship, and dissemination activities within NCAD DesignLabs and the institution. - Carry out administrative work related to your programme of research. - Undertake any other reasonable duties as required by the PI Selection Criteria Selection criteria outline the qualifications, skills, knowledge, and experience required to successfully fulfil the responsibilities of the post.
