About this position

University College Dublin is seeking a Post-doctoral Research Fellow Level 1 to join the Centre for BioNano Interactions (CBNI) within the UCD School of Chemistry.

CBNI is an internationally recognised, highly cross-disciplinary research grouping led by Prof. Kenneth Dawson and Prof. Yan Yan. Its research focuses on synthetic and cell-derived nanoscale structures that interact with living systems, advancing both fundamental understanding and applications in the bio-nano field.

The successful researcher will join the Bio-inspired Particle Architecture Delivery Technologies (Bio-PADT) project, investigating how nanostructures interact with living systems. The role is particularly suited to a researcher with expertise in molecular microbiology, contributing to a dynamic team working across biology, chemistry, nanostructures and bio-inspired delivery technologies.

The project is supported by Research Ireland and offers an opportunity to develop experience in an internationally oriented research environment focused on nanoscale systems and biological interactions.

Funding details

Temporary 9-month postdoctoral appointment. Salary is €47,273–€51,156 per annum, with placement on the range dependent on qualifications and experience. The project is funded by a Research Ireland grant.

What's required

Applicants should have a research background in molecular microbiology and be highly motivated to join an interdisciplinary research team. The PD1 position is intended for early-stage researchers, including those just after completing a PhD or entering a new research area. Applicants who have already completed their PD1 stage at UCD, will soon complete a PD1, or whose total postdoctoral experience including this post would exceed four years should not apply and should instead consider PD2 posts.

How to apply

Click the Apply button on the vacancy page to access the full details and submit the application through the UCD system. Submit the completed application by 12:00 noon Irish time on 11 November 2026; applications still in progress at the deadline are cancelled automatically and late applications are not accepted.
