Jobs

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

  

Systems Biology Ireland, established in 2009, has successfully developed an integrated mathematical modelling and experimental research programme focusing on the design of new diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to diseases, primarily cancer, based on a systems level, mechanistic understanding of cellular signal transduction networks. To accomplish these goals, 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. SBI’s expertise, particularly in the area of modelling in systems pharmacology and therapeutics, strategically position it at the crossroads between biology and medicine. 

 

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.

 

The Postdoctoral Fellow will be based in SBI. He/she will work on a project funded through the Innovative Medicine Initiative project 3TR. This transdisciplinary project is performed by a multidisciplinary team of experts in all areas of medicine, basic sciences and bioinformatics from academic institutions and industry This project is supervised by Dr Walter Kolch and Dr David Gómez-Matallanas  focusing on the analysis and integration of clinical datasets for the modelling of different diseases. The data will be used to generate statistics and mechanistic models which can be used to predict disease trajectories. We are using a variety of computational modelling methods ranging from bioinformatics to AI/ML and ODEs. The computational models will be used to integrate clinical and multiomics datasets to identify common and specific mechanism of disease across 7 different autoimmune diseases. This will contribute to answer the main aim of the 3TR consortium that is to identify the mechanisms of response and non-response to therapies both within disease entities and across diseases (further information can be found https://www.3tr-imi.eu/)

Appointment on the above range will be dependent upon qualifications and experience.
