Applications are invited for a 12 months post of a Post doctoral Research Fellow Level 1 or Level 2 within UCD School of Medicine.

University College Dublin (UCD) is seeking applications for a postdoctoral researcher to work in the Systems Biology Ireland Research Centre (SBI, http://www.ucd.ie/sbi/) which is based on the UCD Belfield Campus.

SBI established in 2009, has successfully developed an integrated mathematical modelling and experimental research programme focusing on the design of new therapeutic approaches to diseases, primarily cancer, based on a systems level, mechanistic understanding of cellular signal transduction networks.

SBI uses mathematical and computational modelling approaches in combination with cutting edge experimental technologies in proteomics, genomics, advanced microscopy and flow cytometry as well as cell biology and molecular biology methods.

A main aim of SBI's research is to develop and apply computational models based on biological experimentation that open new avenues for understanding and treatment of human diseases on a molecular level. As part of this postdoc position, the successful candidate will work on an EU funded project CLARIFY (https://www.clarify2020.eu/) and undertake exciting projects investigating the biomolecular mechanisms of cancer therapy responses and patient outcomes.

He/she should have expertise with cell-culture experiments investigating cancer disease mechanisms, and a clear understanding of network biology and cancer signalling. The successful candidate is expected to work closely with the systems modelling and clinical partners and will join the Cancer Dynamics and Modelling Group (https://www.ucd.ie/sbi/team/groups/feygroup/).

The applicant should be self-motivated and able to independently develop and execute project-related aims. 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.

The primary purpose of the role is to further develop your research skills and competences, including the processes of publication in peer-reviewed academic publications, the development of funding proposals, the mentorship of graduate students along with the opportunity to develop your skills in research led teaching.
