University Vacancies Ireland
Dublin, Dublin, Ireland
Temporary
Reference: 453199275
Post Status: Specific Purpose Contract - Full-time.
Research Group / Department / School: Prof. Tríona Lally, TCBE and AMBER, Trinity College Dublin, the University of Dublin
Location: Trinity Centre for Biomedical Engineering, Trinity College Dublin, the University of Dublin College Green, Dublin 2, Ireland
Reports to: Prof. Tríona Lally
Salary: Appointment will be made on the PD1 at a point in line with Government Pay Policy [€47,273 - €51,176 per annum, appointment will be made no higher than point [4]
Hours of Work: 39
Closing Date: 12 Noon (Irish Standard Time), 17 July 2026
Post Summary
Applications are invited for the following AMBER -Industry partner collaborative funded research position:
The postdoctoral research position will be based in the Lally Lab (http://www.lallylab.eu) within the Trinity Centre for Biomedical Engineering (TCBE) and the Advanced Materials and Bioengineering Research Centre (AMBER) in Trinity College Dublin. Prof. Lally leads a multidisciplinary research group in the School of Engineering at Trinity College Dublin. The goal of the Lally lab is to develop in vitro and in-silico testing platforms for the optimisation and development of medical devices, particularly cardiovascular and urological devices, through the advancement of knowledge of soft tissue mechanics and the use of non-invasive imaging techniques.
The aim of this project is to create and test biomimetic silicone-MEW valves and optimise these devices. The work will involve materials testing, biomaterials synthesis and characterisation, 3D printing, Melt-electrowriting, valve building and pulse duplicator/accelerated wear testing. The researcher will work closely with other members of a multidisciplinary team including PIs, clinicians, engineers, postdoctoral research fellows and postgraduate researchers in the Trinity Centre for Biomedical Engineering and with the industry partner.
About the Advanced Materials and Bioengineering Research Centre (AMBER): AMBER is a Research Ireland funded centre that provides a partnership between leading researchers in materials science and industry. More information can be found at http://ambercentre.ie About the Trinity Centre for Biomedical Engineering (TCBE): TCBE is a key research centre in Trinity College combining fundamental research with translation to clinical practice. TCBE provides a structure to bring bioengineers, basic scientists, and clinicians together to focus on important clinical needs and has four key research themes: Medical Devices, Neural Engineering, Biomechanics & Mechanobiology, Tissue Engineering & Regenerative Medicine.
