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

Successful treatment of diseases can often rely on restoring the normal structure and function of cells within tissues and organs. However, it is currently challenging to visualise detailed cellular changes within whole tissues in response to disease. Soft x-ray microscopy is a novel, exciting imaging technique which allows scientists to visualise cells in exquisite detail, but it has yet to be applied to imaging whole tissues. Project NanoX is a Europan Research Council Synergy project that will develop new techniques to image tissue microbiopsies, and will be applied to study the pathogenesis of hepatitis E virus (HEV), an important emerging zoonotic viral infection with no specific therapies or vaccines. This position is for an ambitious postdoctoral research scientist to join project NanoX, who will join an interdisciplinary team consisting of experts in virology, veterinary medicine, physics and biochemistry, and combine exciting research of high academic standard with the application of research findings in the development of new diagnostic techniques. 

UCD Post-doctoral Research Fellow Level 1 Salary: €45,847 - €48,412 Per Annum

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

Closing date: 12:00 noon (local Irish time) on the 30th of June 2025.

Post Summary 

The resilience of the anti-viral immune system declines with age, yet there is significant heterogeneity in anti-viral immunity in older adults, resulting in diverse viral infection outcomes in this age group. Activation of type I interferon (IFN-I) responses are a fundamental component of innate anti-viral immunity, key for activation of early, direct anti-viral protection and later adaptive anti-viral immune responses, yet how, when and why these IFN-I responses decline with age is not well understood in human populations. 

This project aims to explore the nuances of IFN-I response activation and regulation during ageing by investigating how these responses change with differential ageing states (e.g. frailty states, rates of biological ageing etc.). This project will use approaches such as scRNA-seq, bulk RNA-seq, DNAm analysis, proteomics and clinical data integration to determine how IFN-I responses change during ageing. 

This project will be under the supervision of Prof Nollaig Bourke and Dr Matt McElheron and forms part of a larger, multi-disciplinary research programme with national and international academic and clinical collaborators.
