Offer Description

Department: Biology

Vacancy ID: 034022

Closing Date: 23-Mar-2025

Maynooth University is committed to a strategy in which the primary University goals of excellent research and scholarship and outstanding education are interlinked and equally valued.

Applications are sought for the position of Post-doctoral Researcher to conduct research within the Allergy, Inflammation & Remodelling Research (AIRR) Laboratory of Dr Joanne Masterson. The successful candidate will join a programme of research investigating novel mechanisms of disease exploring the intersection of mucosal immunobiology and epithelial developmental biology, specifically related to epithelial cellular reprogramming within inflammatory microenvironments and tissue regeneration.

This post is funded by the financial support of Research Ireland (Taighde Eireann). Research in the AIRR lab aims to explore mechanisms of disease combining molecular, cellular and whole organism approaches, bridging our knowledge of developmental and environmental signals that may regulate epithelial progenitor cell status, morphogenetic programming and function, and how these processes relate to pathophysiology in allergic diseases, for example the emerging chronic esophageal disease Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE).

The research will combine state-of-the-art approaches in molecular biology, gene engineering, biochemistry, cell biology, transcriptomics, immune signalling, mouse models and patient specimens with the aim of defining novel therapeutic targets.

More information on the research efforts of Dr. Masterson's laboratory can be obtained from the following publications (Benson et al. (2024) Mucosal Immunol. 2024 Sep 27:S1933-0219(24)00099-0; Ryan et al (2024) J Allergy Clin Immunol. 2024 Dec;154(6):1472-1488; Masterson et al.
