About this position
Maynooth University is advertising a postdoctoral researcher position in the Department of Biology for an HRB-funded project led by Dr Martina Schroeder and collaborators. The project aims to generate a hiPSC-based preclinical model for DDX3X syndrome, a rare neurodevelopmental disease, and to study how DDX3X mutations affect macrophage differentiation and function with a focus on NLRP3 inflammasome activation.
This opportunity is especially relevant for candidates interested in biology, medical science, neuroscience, cell biology, innate immunity, and disease modelling. The project is highly collaborative and involves researchers at UoG, QUB, and UCSC, plus public-patient involvement (PPI), so the successful applicant should be comfortable working with multiple collaborators and engaging with patient groups and stakeholders.
The role is a temporary specified-purpose postdoctoral appointment at Maynooth University in Ireland. Salary is listed as €47,273 for Post-Doctoral Researcher Level 1 (point 1 with increments). The vacancy closes at 23:30 local Irish time on Sunday, 1 November 2026.
