Applications are invited from suitably qualified candidates for a full-time, fixed-term postdoctoral researcher position to investigate the mechanobiology of tumour growth and therapy resistance.
This position is funded by a European Research Council Starting Grant and will be under the supervision of Dr Eoin McEvoy, Associate Professor in Biomedical Engineering . The researcher will join Dr McEvoy’s group, which brings together expertise in active cell biomechanics and in-vitro tumour models. The group’s overall focus is to develop advanced computational and experimental models that provide a mechanistic understanding of cell and tissue remodelling in cancer and disease, motivating novel mechano-therapeutic strategies. For further information, see www.mechanomodel.ie . The position is available for up to 24 months from the earliest suitable start date.
Salary: Postdoctoral Researcher salary scale ¤46,805 - ¤59,654 per annum (subject to the project’s funding limitations), and pro rata for shorter and/or part-time contracts.
The default position for all new public sector appointments is the 1st point of the salary scale. This may be reviewed, and consideration afforded to appointment at a higher point on the payscale (subject to the project’s funding limitations), where evidence of prior years’ equivalent experience is accepted in determining placement on the scale above point 1, subject to the maximum of the scale.
