2 Prject Abstract: The University f Dublin The aims f InnHF prject are t ffer a multidisciplinary training in the field f risk assessment and maintenance management integrated with human factrs, in tight cntact with cmpanies and universities within this cnsrtium; t strengthen and structure initial training f researchers in system engineering at Eurpean level; t attract students t scientific careers; t prvide trained researchers with the necessary skills t wrk in industry; and t imprve career perspectives by brad skills develpment. The INNHF scientific main bjective is thus t frmalize an apprach and make it pssible t integrate the current and develping assessment methds recmmended r required by recgnized industrial standards and methdlgies, with an easy t use but cmplete human factrs and system health management apprach, the fllwing gals will be achieved: 1) Review f the applicability f mst recent generatin standards that are nt yet fully acquired by different industries and verificatin f their effectiveness in safety assessment. 2) Devising a methd t accunt qualitatively and quantitatively fr the human factr in the wider applied risk assessment methdlgies. Verifying hw a prper accunt f the impact f human and rganizatinal factrs (H&OF) in the peratinal phase may prvide a sensitive change in the results f the assessments. 3) Reviewing the methds t accunt qualitatively and quantitatively fr maintenance effectiveness, taking als int accunt HOFs, verifying hw a prper accunt f the maintenance strategy may prvide a sensitive change in the results f the assessments. 4) T translate the results f the analysis perfrmed thrugh the nvel apprach in a factual design imprvement initiative fr new r existing plant r machinery able t prvide leverage fr cmpetitive advantage (maximum availability, minimum unscheduled shutdwns f prductin, ecnmic maintenance, minimum incident and accident). Open Psitins: Three psitins: Tw 36- mnth Early Stage Researcher (ESR) and ne 24- mnth Experienced Researcher (ER) (24 Mnths) psitins within the Marie Curie Initial Training Netwrk the Aerspace Psychlgy Research Grup (APRG) in. (Additinal psitins are available in ur partner rganizatins Euraxess website )

3 The University f Dublin The Aerspace Psychlgy Research Grup The Aerspace Psychlgy Research Grup (APRG) fcusses n understanding and impacting the human and rganisatinal factrs which underlie safety, efficiency and reliability in labratin between academic researchers and aviatin practitiners in rder t fster and further research and gd practice in relatin t the human aspects f the aviatin system. It has since bradened its scpe t a range f ther high- reliability industries and t brader themes related t the human aspects f industrial systems. Industrial sectrs addressed by APRG wrk: Aviatin Maintenance Flight Ops Design Grund handling ATC Transprt Rail Marine Rad Manufacturing & prcess Chemical Oil Pharmaceutical Medical devices Chips Services Emergency respnse Health services Security Key themes f ur wrk: Risk Management Strategic Tactical Critical Implementing and mnitring change Cmpetence Human Factrs Nn- technical skills Integrated technical training E- learning Applicatin f new technlgies Virtual Reality Augmented Reality Intelligent visin Mbile devices Analysis f nrmal peratins Task and prcess mdeling including Resurces, criticalities, cmpetence, team factrs, culture

4 Eligibility Criteria: The University f Dublin T be eligible, each researcher must fulfill the fllwing criteria at the time f appintment: Natinality The researcher may be a natinal f a Member State f the Cmmunity, f an Assciated Cuntry r f any ther third cuntry. b) Mbility At the time f selectin by the hst rganizatin, the researcher may nt have resided r carried ut his/her main activity in the cuntry f the beneficiary fr mre than 12 mnths in the 3 years immediately prir t his/her appintment. Shrt stays such as hlidays are nt taken int accunt. As far as internatinal Eurpean interest rganizatins r internatinal rganizatins are cncerned, this rule des nt apply t the hsting f eligible researchers, hwever the appinted researcher must nt have spent mre than 12 mnths in the 3 years immediately prir t the selectin by the hst rganizatin in the same appinting rganizatin. c) Qualificatins and research experience Early stage researchers (ESR) means researchers wh, at the time f selectin by the hst rganizatin, have nt yet been awarded the dctrate degree and are in the first 4 years (full- time equivalent) f their research careers. This includes the perid f research training, starting at the date f btaining the degree which wuld frmally entitle them t embark n a dctrate either in the cuntry in which the degree was btained r in the cuntry in which the initial training activities are prvided, irrespective whether r nt a dctrate is envisaged. Experienced Researchers (ER) means researchers wh, at the time f selectin by the hst rganizatin, have a PhD r at least fur years f research experience AND a ttal research experience f less than r equal t five years. Candidate Prfile: The candidate must be fluent in spken and written English. The R&D is highly multidisciplinary. An ideal candidate has a PhD. in Engineering, Psychlgy,Statistical Sciences r a related discipline with an adequate cmputatinal and research backgrund. Experience in field f human factrs, industrial safety, risk assessment & risk management is an advantage. Knwledge f prgramming languages and/r knwledge f Matlab are an advantage Bth female and male candidates are invited t apply. Salary Infrmatins: The salary fr ER will be fully in line with the EC rules fr Marie Curie grant hlders The salary has tw cmpnents, a living allwance and a mbility allwance. Salary crrectin cefficient fr Ireland applies.
