PhD Studentship at Trinity College: The Monaghan Research Group at Trinity College Dublin is offering a PhD Studentship focused on developing novel materials for immunomodulatory cardiac repair as part of the ERC Consolidator Grant PiezoMac project. This full-time position includes a stipend of €25,000 per annum and covers PhD registration fees. Candidates will be part of an interdisciplinary team working on cutting-edge biomedical research.
Designation:
PhD Studentship (Full-time)
Research Area:
Biomedical Engineering, specifically focusing on novel materials for immunomodulatory cardiac tissue repair. Interdisciplinary areas include biomaterials, stem cell biology, in silico modeling, and 3D in vitro models of cardiac disease.
Location:
Trinity BioSciences Institute, Trinity College Dublin, Dublin 2, Ireland
Eligibility/Qualification:
- Primary degree in Biomedical Engineering, Materials Science, or Biomedical Science.
- Desirable: Experience in porous scaffold fabrication, cell culture, mechanical testing, advanced microscopy, PCR, immunohistochemistry, or other histological and imaging techniques.
- Essential: Experience with statistical software (e.g., GraphPad Prism, R), qualitative/quantitative data analysis, and a strong interest in regenerative medicine.
Job Description:
The successful candidates will join a multidisciplinary team at Trinity College Dublin to develop materials-based approaches to modulate injury-related inflammation in cardiac tissue. The role involves hands-on research in biomaterials, stem cell biology, and cardiac disease models, contributing to transformative biomedical advancements.
