Reports to: Professor Padraic Fallon 

Salary: Appointment will be made on Post-Doctoral Researcher scales [€45,847 to €53,770 per annum] 

Hours of Work: 39 hours per week

 

Post Summary 

A Postdoctoral immunology fellowship is available to join Prof Padraic Fallon’s Research group in the Trinity Biomedical Sciences Institute (TBSI), Trinity College Dublin, Ireland. TBSI is a leading research institute with access to state-of-the-art facilities and a vibrant, interdisciplinary research community focused on addressing critical questions in immunology and inflammation. The Fallon group is involved in research on the immunology of inflammatory diseases, conducting studies using both clinical samples and animal models.

As required, specialised training will be provided in the laboratories of international collaborators.

 

Standard Duties and Responsibilities of the Post 

Conduct high-quality research on immune cell activation and functions in inflammatory conditions. 

Prepare and publish scientific results in leading international peer-reviewed journals. Present findings at internal meetings, as well as national and international scientific conferences. 

Collaborate with academic, clinical, and industry partners, and contribute to related ongoing research projects within the team. 

Assist in the preparation of project reports, grant proposals, and other documentation as required.

Senior Research Fellow in Viral Immune Evasion

Vacancy Description

Post Status: Fixed-term Contract – Full-time. 

Research Group / Department / School: Translational Inflammation Research Group (TIRG, Brady Group), School of Medicine, Trinity College Dublin, the University of Dublin. 

Location: Trinity Translational Medicine Institute, Trinity College Dublin, the University of Dublin, St. James’s Hospital, Dublin 8, Dublin, Ireland. 

Reports to: Dr Gareth Brady 

Salary: Appointment will be made at Point 2B on the SFI salary scale in line with Government Pay Policy [€54,307 per annum gross salary].

Hours of Work: 39 hours per week

 

Post Summary 

The Brady Translational Inflammation Research Group (TIRG) is located within TTMI and has collaborative associations with local clinical researchers providing a strong translational base to our research as well as national and international experts in the areas of viral immune evasion, structural biology and the molecular basis of interferonopathies. Our key focus is on understanding how human-adapted viruses inhibit host innate anti-viral signaling systems using the poxvirus Molluscum Contagiosum Virus (MCV) as a model. It causes a common, long-duration infection with minimal inflammation around characteristic papular skin lesions despite being continually loaded with live virus. This suggests highly effective, targeted inhibition of human anti-viral responses. We believe that understanding how MCV achieves this level of innate immune inhibition may offer key insights into human innate signaling pathways and potential therapeutic tools to inhibit these pathways in diseases defined by inflammation. Our previous screening of the MCV genome identified and reported several novel inhibitors of primary sensing and inflammation whose mechanisms of inhibition. The current project ‘Screening Interferon Inhibition by a Human-Adapted Poxvirus and its Therapeutic Potential’ (IFNAPT) will now investigate inhibition of the Type-I Interferon system by MCV proteins and deriving potentially therapeutic compounds from these inhibitors for use in the treatment of diseases associated with dysregulation of the Interferon system (e.g. interferonopathies).

Research Fellow in Shared Mobility

Vacancy Description

Post Status: Specific Purpose Contract Full-time (commencing from September 2025) 

Research Group / Department / School: School of Engineering, Trinity College Dublin, the University of Dublin 

Location: Trinity College Dublin, the University of Dublin College Green, Dublin 2, Ireland 

Reports to: Prof Brian Caulfield 

Salary: Appointment will be made on the IUA Research Fellow scale at a point in line with Government Pay Policy €46,305 appointment will be made no higher than point 2

This project will focus on private workplaces in Dublin and Limerick and will provide access to the bike library (bike sharing) to a selected cohort of employees while also engaging a control group within the same workplaces to achieve an objective assessment of the intervention. The pilot will be assessed from a quantitative and qualitative perspective and policy recommendations will be prepared based on the findings with a focus on facilitating the replication at city and national levels. Each bike will be instrumented with GPS sensors to understand preferred cycling routes. The data will be used to inform the local authority and decision makers and provide them with useful insights to deploy cycling infrastructure where needed by the local community. The qualitative assessment will be carried out with questionnaires and focus groups which will allow to understand effective strategies to removing barriers to the uptake of e-micromobility solutions. An app will be also developed and deployed to collect further data and deploy behavioural nudging interventions. The research that will be conducted over a 36-month project.

Associate Professor B - Statistics and Data Science (Re-advertisement)

Vacancy Description

Applications are invited for the following position:

Title of Post: Associate Professor B - Statistics and Data Science (Re-advertisement)

 

JOB SYNOPSIS

Advance and consolidate an international centre of excellence in statistics and data science research at the University of Limerick. Participate in undergraduate and postgraduate education.

The Department of Mathematics and Statistics is a welcoming and inclusive community of researchers and professional staff. We are proud of our recent Athena Swan silver award, and we seek to continue improving across all aspects of equality, diversity and inclusion.  The department has a thriving research programme in applied mathematics and statistics, and it is responsible for teaching mathematics and statistics at all levels across the University. To support our growth, we are seeking to appoint two Associate Professors B (tenured) of Statistics and Data Science. We seek candidates with leadership potential and an internationally recognised track record in research in one or more branches of statistics.

Research interests in the Department focus on the development of statistical and applied mathematical methods (and hybrids thereof) for a range of real-world applications. Examples of specific statistical topics include Bayesian modelling, functional data analysis, survival analysis, spatial statistics, statistical learning, biostatistics, network models and climate modelling, but further linking between statistics and financial/applied mathematics, e.g. as part of MACSI (the Mathematics Applications Consortium for Science and Industry), would be particularly welcome.

The successful candidate will have a doctoral degree (level 10 NFQ) in statistics or equivalent discipline, a track record of excellent publications in relevant journals and a developing research reputation. Evidence of success in research funding applications is desirable as is significant experience of working in collaborative and interdisciplinary projects. The successful candidate should also demonstrate a passion and commitment to teaching and supervision at undergraduate and postgraduate levels, and have a clear plan for contributing to the evolving research strategy of MACSI in statistics and data science.

In addition, a commitment to EDI principles and to collaborative research with departments and research centers across the University of Limerick is desirable. MACSI works closely with several of the research Institutes in UL, such as the Health Research Institute, the Bernal Institute and Lero (the Irish software research center), as well as having investigators in SFI-funded national research centers including the Insight Centre for Data Analytics, the Solid State Pharmaceutical Centre (SSPC) and Vistamilk. Further application areas of interest to the University are outlined in the University's Research Strategy 2022-2027.

The successful candidate will be required to contribute to the delivery and organisation of teaching their subject within the Department of Mathematics & Statistics, both at undergraduate and postgraduate levels, and to develop a research programme which complements existing research themes within the Department. Management and administrative responsibilities, and other relevant duties commensurate with the grade of the post, may be assigned by the Head of Department.
