🚨 We’re hiring a postdoctoral research associate! 🚨
The Ryan Lab at Trinity College Dublin is recruiting a Postdoctoral Research Associate to join our new team in the School of Biochemistry and Immunology, based in the Trinity Biomedical Sciences Institute for 2026/2027.
This is a great opportunity for scientists with a PhD interested in mitochondrial biology, immunology, inflammation, infection, metabolism, or primary mitochondrial disease. The position will be available for 2 years in the first instance with the potential for extension.
The role will aim to understand how pathogenic mitochondrial DNA mutations reshape the innate immune response to infection ex vivo and in vivo. The successful candidate will contribute to a programme involving:
🧫 Primary macrophage culture
🐭Mouse model-linked infection studies
🔥 Inflammatory and infection-associated assays
📊 Cytokine, metabolic, and immunological readouts
🧬 Molecular biology and genotyping
🔬 A growing programme in mitochondrial immunometabolism
📍 Location: Trinity Biomedical Sciences Institute, Trinity College Dublin
📅 Anticipated start: Flexible, ideally November 2026-January 2027
⏰ Closing date: 12 noon, 07 October 2026
Please share widely and do get in touch if you think you might be a great fit!
To apply:
Applicants should submit a full CV plus a short cover letter to include the names and contact details of 2 referees (including email addresses), to:-
Dr. Dylan Ryan

🚨🚨 When we take antibiotics we assume they'll kill the bad bugs but won't affect us directly. In our new story @NatureMicrobiol , we found that's not always the case and developed a tool, CompoRes, to identify these direct effects on the host /1
