Offer Description

Applications are invited for a temporary post of a UCD Post-doctoral Research Fellow Level 1 within UCD School of Biomolecular and Biomedical Science.

The UCD School of Biomolecular and Biomedical Science is seeking to recruit a Post-doctoral Researcher in pre-clinical Traumatic brain injury (TBI) research, funded by the Research Ireland Frontiers for the Future Programme. We welcome applications from highly motivated and enthusiastic postdoctoral researchers to join a research programme aimed at determining the mechanistic interplay between diet-induced obesity and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) with the goal of identifying novel therapeutic targets for this patient sub-population. Research will take place in a collaborative environment across the UCD Conway Institute of Biomolecular and Biomedical Research - https://people.ucd.ie/rebecca.henry

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.

When applying, applicants are required to provide the following:

1. An up-to-date CV (which includes a list of publications),
2. A cover letter (maximum 1 page) describing how the applicant meets the indicated `Selection Criteria' and their motivation for applying for the above position,
3. Name & contact details of TWO separate referees (which, on foot of permission being granted, may ONLY be contacted by HR at the post-interview stage).

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.
