| '''PhD studentships and post-doctoral research fellow position in corneal bioengineering'''
| |
|
| |
|
| Following the award of a European Research Council (ERC) starting grant, two fully funded PhD studentships and a post-doctoral research position have become available in the area of cornea bioengineering at Trinity College Dublin, University of Dublin, Ireland. The aim of these projects will be to characterize corneal cell behaviour and design of biomaterial scaffolds for corneal regeneration. The successful candidates will receive training in a variety of biological and bioengineering techniques and have access to state-of-the-art facilities at the Trinity Centre for Bioengineering. There will also be the opportunity to attend international conferences.

| Candidates applying for PhD studentships should ideally have a 1st class honours primary degree or MSc degree in a relevant science, medical or engineering discipline. Experience or knowledge in any of the following is desirable but not essential as training will be provided: molecular techniques; cell culture and imaging; cell biology; biomaterials synthesis and scaffold fabrication; tissue engineering and ophthalmology. The studentships cover fees (at EU student rate only) and a highly competitive stipend starting 1st September, 2015. '''Closing date for PhD applications is 31st May 2015'''.

| Candidates applying for the funded post-doctoral research fellow position will require a PhD in a relevant discipline and evidence of scholarly output. This post will initially be funded by Science Foundation Ireland (SFI) for an eight month period after which additional funding may be available. Candidates should ideally have experience in biomaterials, scaffold fabrication technology and cell culture. '''Closing date for post-doctoral research fellow applications is 25th April 2015 with interviews to be held in mid-May'''. The expected start date is 1st July although this can be adjusted if necessary.

| |
| Interested candidates for these exciting opportunities should send a CV, cover letter and contact details for at least two referees to Dr. Mark Ahearne via e-mail (ahearnm@tcd.ie) before the closing dates. Informal enquires are welcome.
