Postdoc Opportunities: ERC Advanced Grant "REVOLVER"

​

We are recruiting three postdoctoral researchers for a new ERC-funded programme applying directed evolution for the first time to long noncoding RNAs. The goal is to develop a deeper understanding of their molecular mechanisms and to engineer RNAs as a new class of therapeutic for liver disease.

​

You will lead your own research area within a diverse, well-resourced team, and develop expertise at the intersection of RNA, evolution, genome editing and translational medicine.

​

We are looking for ambitious, independent researchers with a PhD and strong track record in one or more of:

  • Directed evolution or protein/RNA engineering

  • RNA biology

  • Genome editing

  • Computational genomics, evolutionary biology, fitness landscapes, or machine learning for biological sequences

  • Hepatocyte biology or in vitro disease modelling

​

Positions are fully funded for up to 5 years with competitive salary.

Start: March 2027 or soon after.

Location: University College Dublin, Ireland.

​

To apply: send a brief email outlining your relevant experience and motivation, with attached CV, to rory.johnson@ucd.ie with subject line "REVOLVER PD"
