rapidly establishing itself as a state of the art geospatial research
centre. More recently, SFI have awarded the NCG €9m in research

Maynooth, Trinity College Dublin (TCD), the Dublin Institute of
Technology (DIT) and University College Dublin (UCD). This new
research group is based around four geospatial research areas or

Services(LBS).
We are now recruiting Postdoctoral Research Fellows and PhD students.
