UCD Post-doctoral Research Fellow Level 1, UCD School of Medicine, Temporary 6 months
Applications are invited for a temporary post of a UCD Post-doctoral Research Fellow Level 1 within UCD School of Medicine
The purpose of this project is to design and develop a technology for delivering messenger RNA (mRNA) therapies, with a particular focus on treating a rare skin disorder known as recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB). The research entails the development and validation of non-viral delivery vectors, optimization of their mRNA delivery efficiency, and evaluation of their properties to investigate safety and efficacy across a range of models (in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo). The successful candidate will work as part of a well-established and dynamic research team within the UCD Charles Institute of Dermatology.
Salary Range: €47,273 to €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 5-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.
