The work...

GOLDLab at University College Dublin is hiring three ERC-funded postdoctoral researchers to work on questions at the intersection of experimental evolution, genome editing and RNA engineering. The lab’s research focuses on understanding the role of long non-coding RNAs in human diseases. Its work combines computational and experimental methods, offering a multidisciplinary environment for researchers interested in RNA biology, genome engineering and disease mechanisms. Projects are expected to c...

The University of Limerick’s Bernal Institute is seeking a Postdoctoral Researcher in vascular cell biology and 3D cell biology for the INCENSE-2 research project. Co-funded by the Rinn Pharma & Biopharma Centre and conducted with Cook Medical, the project is developing a human, flow-conditioned model of the arterial wall. The model is designed to enable real stents and drug coatings to be tested before animal studies. The successful researcher will lead the cell-biology component of the enginee...
