Post Summary 

Research Fellow The Substance Use and Mental Health Interventions using Digital Technology (SUMIT) project team formed and initiated a strategic all-Ireland engagement process over the last two years to identify common shared challenges for people living with substance use (drugs & alcohol) and associated mental health issues (PWSUMHI). The team and their collaborators assessed the potential of digital interventions to address these. SUMIT’S engagement work has identified four key shared local service issues; 

1. Barriers to Accessing Care and Support 

2. Service Centric rather than Person Cantered Care 

3. Lack of Joined Up Care for PWSUMHI 

4. Service Capacity & Digital Skills 

OBJECTIVE - Within a cross-border test bed environment, SUMIT will expand digital inclusion and develop 3 digitally enabled products for 1,500 PWSUMHI, increasing access to support and treatment whilst enhancing existing services. SUMIT is a test of change, which will inform health and care transformation, and wider policy and strategic considerations for future digitally enabled health and social care services. 

The team at the School of Nursing and Midwifery at Trinity College Dublin (TCD) will lead the research and evaluation of the SUMIT project under the direction of Professor Catherine Comiskey, Principal Investigator. The team now wish to recruit a Research Fellow to lead the day-to-day research and evaluation of the work.

Applications are invited from suitably qualified candidates for a full-time- fixed-term position as a postdoctoral researcher with the lab of Dr. James Gahan at the University of Galway, Ireland.  

This position is funded by Research Ireland and is available from 01/10/25 for a period of 2 years with the possibility of renewal. 

In the Gahan lab we use the sea anemone Nematostella to investigate chromatin function during development and differentiation. Nematostella is part of the phylum cnidaria, the sister group to the majority of animals and thus in a pivotal phylogenetic position for understanding early animal evolution. 

We work to dissect chromatin regulation during development and cell differentiation, using the nervous system as a model. In doing so we aim to understand how the processes underlying developmental gene regulation in more “complex” animals first evolved while simultaneously addressing more general questions about the role of chromatin in development and differentiation. The specific project will involve deploying epigenomic profiling tools to understand the role of chromatin and epigenetics during Nematostella vectensis development.

Applications are invited from suitably qualified candidates for a full time fix term position as a Research Assistant on the EU/IFAD-funded EcoFoodSystems project in the research group of Prof. Charles Spillane within the Agriculture, Good Systems & Bioeconomy Research Centre, Ryan Institute at the University of Galway, Ireland.  

This position is funded by the European Union (EU) and is available from 14th of July 2025 to contract end date of 30th of September 2026. 

 verview of the Project: By 2050, more than two thirds of the world population will be living in urban areas, the majority living in cities. Food systems serve diverse farmer and consumer constituencies with differentiated impacts on sustainability, economic growth, social inclusion and nutrition.  The EcoFoodSystems project places particular emphasis on linking national to subnational food systems (including data systems for decision-support) in each of the three countries to generate data and knowledge for more effective decision-making that enables climate-resilient transitions of city regional diets that are more affordable, sustainable and healthy. 

The overall research and innovation goal of the EcoFoodSystems project is to conduct research to support decision making for transitions towards diets that are more sustainable, affordable and healthy in three city regions globally (Addis Ababa, Cali and Hanoi). The EcoFoodSystems project will generate research outputs (papers, tools, etc) that can be used by next-user stakeholders and partners in each of the three city regions to accelerate transitions towards diets that are more sustainable, affordable and healthy. 

Led by the University of Galway, with global partners CIAT-Bioversity Alliance, Wageningen University and Research (WUR) and RIKOLTO, the EcoFoodSystems project builds from previous and ongoing food systems and sustainable dietary activities and processes in Ethiopia, Vietnam and Colombia.

Position Summary

Researchers from the School of Pharmacy are seeking qualified candidates to pursue a 36-month fully funded PhD Studentship in University College Cork (UCC), Ireland. Successful candidates will be part of a highly motivated team that will use modern computational methods to develop critical medicines for improving global health and equality.

For low-income populations in developing countries access to life-saving medicines is often fraught with obstacles. These include a lack of financial incentive for major pharmaceutical companies to develop such medicines, as well as lack of technical expertise and resources of local manufacturers to navigate the rigorous process of bringing these drugs to market. 

To address this issue a team from the School of Pharmacy, UCC, led by the Professor of Pharmaceutics, Brendan Griffin is aiming to develop Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning tools that can accelerate the creation of medicines for conditions that disproportionately affect those in developing countries, such as malaria and other tropical diseases. These tools will be made freely accessible via an open-source, web-based platform, ensuring that this technology can be leveraged worldwide. This ambitious project aligns to the UCC Futures thematic areas of Future Medicines and AI & Data Analytics. Successful candidates will gain experience developing computational tools to support a rational and science-based approach to selecting formulations for critical medicines in developing countries. 

Key tasks in the PhD Studentship include: 

• Investigation of stability requirements and chemical space of critical drug molecules which address global health inequalities. 
• Develop computational tools with highest applicability for drug molecules which address global health inequalities. 
• Complete in vitro small-scale screening experiments to inform and validate the utility of the computational models.
• Complete PhD credits as per structured PhD program requirements as set out by University College Cork. 

Start Date (Planned): Negotiable

Salary/Stipend: €25,000 (plus fees).
