Post-doctoral Research Fellow Position Available – New Approaches for Manipulation of the Mammalian Epigenome

The Centre for BioNano Interactions (CBNI), 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 targeted medicines at the nanoscale.

The successful candidate will explore novel approaches to re-programme the epigenome in mammalian cells, including gene expression and epigenetic changes, and associated phenotypic outcomes. As such, demonstrated experience in mammalian cell culture, advanced molecular biology and biochemistry techniques such as ChIP-sequencing, CRISPR, flow cytometry and live cell microscopy is highly desirable.

In addition to conducting research, the successful candidate will help supervise and support PhD students working on the same topic, promote publication in high quality peer-reviewed academic publications, assist in the development of funding proposals and the management and reporting of projects and will generally contribute to the professional and smooth running of a highly interdisciplinary team.

About CBNI

Located in Dublin, one of the most vibrant cities in Europe, CBNI is pioneering new techniques and approaches at the research interface between nanoscale science and living systems, with applications in the biomedical arena. The team is highly interdisciplinary and dynamic and would suit young scientists that aspire to be at the leading edge of an emerging field of science and biomedical research.

Key areas of research at CBNI include:

• Fundamental understanding of interactions between nanoparticles and living systems at cellular level and in vivo
• Exosome detection and manipulation
• Novel approaches to vaccine development
• Applications of bio-nanoscale science for therapy and diagnostics

Mandatory Qualifications

• PhD in molecular biology, cell biology or a related discipline
• A strong background and in molecular and cell biology techniques
• Experience in mammalian gene regulations, quantitative proteomics, epigenetics
• Evidence of research activity (publications, conference presentations, awards) and future scholarly output (working papers, research proposals) and ability to outline a research project.
• A demonstrated commitment to research and publications
• An understanding of the operational requirements for a successful research project
• Excellent communication skills (Oral, Written, Presentation etc), the ability to work effectively in a team and be self-motivated
• Excellent organisational and administrative skills including a proven ability to work to deadlines

Salary: €36,854 – €37,383 per annum
