About this position

Trinity College Dublin is recruiting one PhD Researcher through the PANDORA Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Doctoral Network, an international research network focused on age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and translational vision research.

The project, “Therapeutic approach targeting the mitochondria”, addresses dry AMD, the most common form of AMD and a major cause of blindness in older adults. The researcher will investigate innovative candidate therapies that target mitochondrial function and cellular bioenergetics in disease models of dry AMD.

The PhD work will examine how perturbed cellular bioenergetics contributes to disease pathology and how therapeutic intervention may produce beneficial effects. Particular attention will be given to the interaction between dysregulated cellular pathways, including complement dysregulation and mitochondrial dysfunction, which are central to dry AMD pathology.

PANDORA brings together eight academic institutions, three industrial partners, non-profit organisations, and a cohort of 13 PhD Researchers. The successful researcher will join this collaborative network while undertaking doctoral registration at Trinity College Dublin and research in translational vision science.

The project is associated with Professor G Jane Farrar at Trinity College Dublin. The advert states that applicants should apply through the vacancy instructions with a full CV and referee details.

Funding details

The successful candidate will be employed as a Researcher for three years and registered as a PhD student at Trinity College Dublin. Salary and other funding details are not specified in the post.

How to apply

Submit a full CV including the names and contact details of two referees, including their email addresses, to Professor G Jane Farrar at [email protected]. The advert also instructs applicants to click the Apply button for further details.
