Offer Description
Applications are invited for a temporary post of a Research Assistant within UCD School of Biomolecular and Biomedical Science.
Following the success of a project that determined the level of SARS-CoV-2 genetic material in wastewater treatment plants in the greater Dublin area, the team in University College Dublin, together with Uisce Éireann (formerly Irish Water), the National Virus Reference Laboratory and the HSE Health Protection Surveillance Centre established the National Wastewater Surveillance Programme (NWSP). The programme involves the weekly collection and analysis of wastewater samples from wastewater treatment plants located across the Republic of Ireland. Results of the analysis are shared with the Health Protection Surveillance Centre and are communicated to a number of organisations, including the HSE Public Health Departments, and made available to the public via the HPSC's website. In addition to detecting the presence of SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater, the team in UCD has developed its surveillance toolkit to include variants of SARS-CoV-2 as well as other pathogens.
We have a vacancy for a Research Assistant to participate in the National Wastewater Surveillance Programme. The Research Assistant will be involved in all aspects of this project, including wastewater analysis, quality control of procedures used to concentrate, extract and quantify viral genetic material, and development of methods to detect SARS-CoV-2 variants.
Salary Range: €33,291 – €38,803 per annum
Appointment on the above range will be dependent on qualifications and experience.
Closing date: 12:00 noon (local Irish time) on 20/11/2025.
Applications must be submitted by the closing date and time specified. Applications that are still in progress at the closing time of 12:00 noon (Local Irish Time) on the specified closing date will be cancelled automatically by the system. UCD is unable to accept late applications.
UCD does not require assistance from Recruitment Agencies. Any CVs submitted by Recruitment Agencies will be returned.
