The Role
Maynooth University is committed to a strategy in which the primary University goals of excellent research and scholarship and outstanding education are interlinked and equally valued.
We are seeking a full-time post-doctoral researcher for 28 months in the Department of Biology at Maynooth University. The department and research group offer excellent research conditions with state-of-the-art infrastructure in a highly dynamic and collegial environment. The project is collaborative in nature working together with researchers from the departments of Chemistry and Mathematics and Statistics within Maynooth University and researchers in Germany and Norway. The total project is a five-year SFI funded research award to Dr Walsh (SFI/20/FFP-A/8924_WALSH)
https://www.maynoothuniversity.ie/faculty-science-engineering/our-people/fiona-walsh#3. The team for this project currently comprises two PhD students and one further post-doctoral researcher will join in Summer 2024.
The research project will investigate the proteomic and metabolomic responses of Gram-positive and Gram-negative pathogens containing antimicrobial resistance (AMR) plasmids. We will develop systems biology maps of the internal pathways of the bacteria-plasmid interactions and identify key molecules and proteins required by the pathogens to resistant antimicrobials. These data will be utilized to develop targets for chemical inhibitors.
This research position will focus primarily on the analysis of the protein and metabolite data within and across bacteria and antimicrobials. It will require statistical analysis of significance of large datasets, network analysis and data visualization. The latter stages of the project will require the generation of a mathematical model, based on the available data to predict future scenarios. This project section is in collaboration with the data analytics section of the Department of Mathematics and Statistics.
