UCD Post-doctoral Research Fellow Level 1, Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Temporary 4 months
Applications are invited for a temporary post of a Post-doctoral Research Fellow Level 1 within the school of Electrical and Electronic Engineering.
We are seeking a Postdoctoral Research Fellow for a 4-month position to work on a collaborative project as part of the CURAM Centre for Research in Medical Devices. The aim of the project is to develop computational models of transcranial ultrasound stimulation of neurons within the deep structures of the brain. The long term aim is the development of new neuromodulation approaches for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, including Parkinson's disease. This project is funded by the CURAM Centre for Research in Medical Devices https://www.universityofgalway.ie/curam/.
The Neuromuscular Systems and Neural Engineering Lab (https://www.ucd.ie/neuro/ ) is a multidisciplinary research group based in the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at University College Dublin. Our research involves applying engineering principles, in particular mathematical modelling, signal analysis and experimentation, to understand how the nervous system controls movement. Through this research we aim to improve our understanding of the neuromuscular system to address fundamental questions in the control of human movement and to develop improved therapeutic strategies, including next generation neuromodulation technologies. The project in in collaboration with Dr Manus Biggs, National University of Ireland, Galway.
PD1 Salary: €47,273 - €53,925 per annum
Appointment on the above range will be dependent upon qualifications and experience.
Closing date: 12:00 noon (local Irish time) on 22 August 2026.
Applications must be submitted by the closing date and time specified. Any applications which are still in progress at the closing time of 12:00 noon (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.
