Offer Description
Applications are invited for a temporary post of a UCD Post-doctoral Research Fellow Level 1 within UCD School of Chemistry - Centre for BioNano Interactions (CBNI).
Reference no - 017079
The Centre for BioNano Interactions, University College Dublin is seeking a highly motivated Post-Doctoral Research Fellow with research background in relevant areas of molecular and cellular biology to join a dynamic team dedicated to advancing the understanding and implementation of diagnostics and therapeutics at the nanoscale.
This is an outstanding opportunity for an enthusiastic and qualified candidate. The successful candidate will work to understand how nanoparticles are prepared and are taken up by cells in culture for applications where the nanoparticles are designed to carry therapeutics or other payloads to targeted end points in cells.
The project is being conducted in collaboration with an industrial partner, SiriusXT Ltd., who have developed a 3D imaging microscope for imaging cell structure. A key goal of the project to be conducted by the selected candidate is to demonstrate the microscope's suitability for validating nanoparticle delivery to cells. The selected candidate will work closely with SiriusXT design staff and with the Centre for BioNano Interactions to culture cells for nanoparticle uptake, to cryo-prepare these cells for imaging and to image the whole cell structure in order to identify and validate nanoparticle position.
The ideal candidate for this role will have a PhD in Biology and will have experience in culturing cells for nanoparticle uptake. Experience in working with imaging instrumentation as well as `hands-on' experience in culturing cells will be an advantage.
This is a research focused role, where you will conduct a specified programme of research supported by research training and development under the supervision and direction of a Principal Investigator.
The primary purpose of the role is to further develop your research skills and competences, including the processes of publication in peer-reviewed academic publications, the development of funding proposals, the mentorship of graduate students along with the opportunity to develop your skills in research led teaching.
Equally, you will have ample opportunities to interact with company researchers, and to purse that avenue of career progression.
Salary range: €42,783 - €46,569 per annum.
Appointment on the above range will be dependent upon qualifications and experience.
Closing date: 17:00hrs (local Irish time) on the 8th of March 2024
Applications must be submitted by the closing date and time specified. Any applications which are still in progress at the closing time of 17:00hrs (Local Irish Time) on the specified closing date will be cancelled automatically by the system. UCD are unable to accept late applications.
UCD do not require assistance from Recruitment Agencies. Any CV's submitted by Recruitment Agencies will be returned.
The PD1 position is intended for early stage researchers, either just after completion of a PhD or for someone entering a new area for the first time. If you have already completed your PD1 stage in UCD or will soon complete a PD1, or you are an external applicant whose total Postdoctoral experience, inclusive of the duration of the advertised post, would exceed 4 years, you should not apply and should refer to PD2 posts instead.
