    DESCRIPTION

    The Laboratory for Genomics of Long Noncoding RNA and Disease (GOLD Lab) is 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. The project benefits from a team of world leading international collaborators.

    We are looking for ambitious, independent researchers with a PhD and strong track record in one or more of:
    • Directed evolution
    • Bio engineering
    • RNA biology
    • Genome editing
    • Computational genomics, evolutionary biology, fitness landscapes, or machine learning for biological sequences

    TERMS

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

    Start: March 2027 or soon after.

    LOCATION

    University College Dublin, Ireland.

    MORE ABOUT US

    We at GOLD Lab love to study lncRNAs and exploit them for medicine. We employ an interdisciplinary wet/dry approach and develop new methods based on genome-editing. We work closely with leading international consortia and collaborators. Our core values are love of science, respect for each other, team work and rigorous thinking.
