About this position

Trinity College Dublin’s Ryan Lab is recruiting a Research Assistant to join a new team in the School of Biochemistry and Immunology at the Trinity Biomedical Sciences Institute.

The role sits in a research programme on mitochondrial immunometabolism, with a strong focus on mitochondrial biology, immunology, inflammation, infection, metabolism, and primary mitochondrial disease. The initial project will use primary macrophages from mitochondrial disease models to study how pathogenic mitochondrial DNA mutations reshape cellular metabolism and innate immune responses.

The successful candidate will gain hands-on experience in primary macrophage culture, molecular biology, genotyping, inflammatory and infection-associated assays, cytokine and metabolic readouts, immunological assays, and mouse-model-linked sample workflows.

This is a funded position supported by a Wellcome Trust Career Development Award. It is described as especially suitable for an early-career researcher looking to build strong research experience before potentially pursuing a PhD.

Location: Trinity Biomedical Sciences Institute, Trinity College Dublin
Start date: Flexible, ideally September 2026
Deadline: 15 June 2026, 12 noon

To apply, follow the job link and submit through the Trinity recruitment portal before the closing date.
