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.
This opportunity is centered 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 investigate how pathogenic mitochondrial DNA mutations reshape cellular metabolism and innate immune responses.
The role offers hands-on experience in primary macrophage culture, molecular biology, genotyping, inflammatory and infection-associated assays, cytokine/metabolic/immunological readouts, and mouse-model-linked sample workflows. It is a good fit for an early-career researcher who wants to build strong research experience before potentially pursuing a PhD.
Funding: The post is funded by a Wellcome Trust Career Development Award.
Location: Trinity Biomedical Sciences Institute, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland.
Deadline: 15 June 2026, 12 noon.
How to apply: Use the application link provided in the post and follow the Trinity College Dublin recruitment instructions. Apply before the closing date.
