Offer Description
Applications are invited for the role of Post-Doctoral Researcher within APC Microbiome Ireland.
Infection with viruses, such as SARS-CoV-2, can lead to long term debilitating symptoms via mechanisms that are currently poorly understood.
We appreciate that the composition and metabolic activity of the intestinal microbiota can impact immune function and microbe-immune interactions may contribute to recovery from infectious diseases.
We are looking for an enthusiastic Immunologist to join our team as a Post-Doctoral Researcher.
At a minimum, applicants should have prior experience of working with murine models of infection and/or murine models of allergy, especially gnotobiotic models.
Applicants who also have prior experience with examining mucosal lymphocyte polarisation in murine models will be prioritised.
UCC is an accredited research organisation and as such can form hosting agreements with third country nationals (and non-EEA nationals) for the purpose of conducting research in the University.
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 HEI Researcher Career Development Framework | Irish Universities Association
