The INFANT centre is internationally renowned for research in the field of early brain injury. For over 15 years Prof Geraldine Boylan and Prof Deirdre Murray have worked to develop new methods to predict, detect and prevent early brain injury and disability in young children. In 2024 the Cerebral Palsy Foundation (New York) funded an ambitious project to improve the lives of young children with cerebral palsy in Ireland. To achieve this goal, they have developed a partnership with UCC, funding the first Chair in Early Brain Injury and Cerebral Palsy, as well supporting a body of research into the early detection, prevention and treatment of early brain injury and Cerebral Palsy (CP) in young children aged 0-3 years. In October 2024 Prof Deirdre Murray was appointed to the role of Prof of Early Brain Injury and CP. This post will support the aims of the project; to develop better ways to predict CP and to detect cognitive disability following early brain injury, to develop novel interventions for young children (aged 0-3 years) to improve their outcomes. To engage and inform families caring for these young children to improve outcomes and quality of life. 

INFANT is now accepting applications for a part time Research Support Officer – Clinical Project Manager to support work of the Chair of Early Brain Injury and Cerebral Palsy, including support of the multidisciplinary research team and developing strong engagement and communication with families of young children with CP or at high risk of CP.

Applications are invited from suitably qualified candidates for a full-time, fixed term position as a Postdoctoral Researcher with the project ‘STEMMA: Systems of Transmitting Early Modern Manuscript Verse, 1475–1700’ at the University of Galway, Ireland.  

This position is funded by the European Research Council and is available from 5 January 2026. 

Information on project 

This project, led by Professor Erin A. McCarthy (https://www.universityofgalway.ie/our-research/people/english-and-creative-arts/erinmccarthy/), develops and applies a data-driven approach in order to provide the first macro-level view of the circulation of early modern English poetry in manuscript. It focuses on English verse manuscripts written and used between the introduction of printing in England in 1475 and 1700, by which time the rapid changes in both literary taste and publishing norms ushered in by the Restoration had fully transformed literary culture. The project includes manuscripts circulating in England and anywhere else English was spoken and read, including Ireland, the North American colonies, and continental exile communities. It develops innovative computational models and quantitative methods for studying the social and material forces that informed literary culture.  

Whereas the current state of the art has seen the scholarly community address manuscripts primarily as case studies, STEMMA (https://stemma.universityofgalway.ie) seeks to open new frontiers in manuscript research by facilitating the identification of patterns and trends at scale. To that end, the project begins by synthesizing six of the most comprehensive datasets about early modern English manuscripts in preparation for advanced literary, material, and quantitative analyses. This first work package sets the stage for four further, interlocking work packages, to which the doctoral and postdoctoral positions are allocated: networking early modern manuscript poems; early modern literary communities in the English-speaking world; rolling archetypes, computational text analysis, and scholarly editing; and textual circulation between manuscript and print. The research team will comprise the PI, three postdoctoral researchers, and one PhD student with expertise in literary history, textual studies, computational text analysis, and social network analysis. They will be based in the Hardiman Research Building. 

Salary: Postdoctoral Researcher salary scale €46,305- €59,063 per annum, (subject to the project’s funding limitations), and pro rata for shorter and/or part-time contracts.  

The default position for all new public sector appointments is the 1st point of the salary scale.

15 Months, Fixed-Term, Whole-time Post

Position Summary

We are seeking a highly motivated Post-Doctoral Researcher with molecular biology and animal handling skills to work on a research project preforming preclinical drug studies for the rare genetic disease, Cystinosis. Specifically, the Post-Doctoral Researcher will investigate whether a new combination therapy is more effective than the current available treatment. 

In a secondary objective aimed at providing mechanistic understanding, the candidate will identify drug-drug interactions and study the cellular mechanisms at play in induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and kidney organoids. These preclinical studies will provide the justification, and inform the appropriate dosing regimen, for future human clinical trials. The primary focus of the research group is to model genetic diseases using gene editing tools such as CRISPR/Cas9 to gain a better understanding of the mechanisms at play and to find alternative treatments. Based on previous work in induced pluripotent stem cells and kidney organoids the lab identified a new therapeutic treatment for the rare lysosomal storage disease, cystinosis. They are now conducting preclinical trials in a model of cystinosis which they developed to progress this treatment to the clinic. 

The duties involve multi-stage experiments that will be performed using primarily the rat model of cystinosis and iPSC-derived organoids. Research includes, but is not limited to, the optimisation of techniques such as HPLC/MS-MS, immunohistochemistry, histology, fluorescence microscopy, molecular biology techniques such as PCR, RNA extraction and western blotting, animal handling including administration of drugs, blood collection and downstream analysis.

Achievement of the expected progression within Post Doc and Senior Post Doc is transferable between the Irish HEI’s.  This can be reflected in the starting pay of a PD researcher.  Similarly, as the PD scheme is an intergenerational training scheme completion of PD1 or PD 2 levels in one HEI will normally render that researcher ineligible for appointment at a similar level in another Irish HEIResearcher Career Development Framework | Irish Universities Association
